When I Said Goodbye
Main Voice: Vicki
I saw you today
She's lovely
You're such a heavenly pair
You hope and you pray
Someday she'll take you all the way there
You should know better, darling
When push comes to shove
Angels don't fall in love
You stand at the gate
Hoping to gain admission
How long are you willing to wait
She won't give permission tonight
You've got your higher aims
Got your ambitions
You think you're spiritual
And on some mission
Well, I can see it when I look in your eyes
When you think of love
Yo
American Tune
American Tune
Words & music by Paul Simon
Many's the time I've been mistaken
And many times confused
Yes, and often felt forsaken
And certainly misused
Oh, but I'm alright, I'm alright
I'm just weary to my bones
Still, you don't expect to be
Bright and bon vivant
So far a-way from home, so far away from home
I don't know a soul who's not been battered
I don't have a friend who feels at ease
I don't know a dream that's not been shattered
or driven to its knees
Oh, but it's alright, it's alright
for we lived so well so long
Still, when I think of the
road we're traveling on
I wonder what's gone wrong
I can't help it, I wonder what's gone wrong
And I dreamed I was dying
I dreamed that my soul rose unexpectedly
And looking back down at me
Smiled reassuringly
And I dreamed I was flying
And high up above my eyes could clearly see
The Statue of Liberty
Sailing away to sea
And I dreamed I was flying
We come on the ship they call the Mayflower
We come on the ship that sailed the moon
We come in the a-ge's most uncertain hours
and sing an American tune
Oh, and it's alright, it's alright, it's alright
You can't be forever blessed
Still, tomorrow's going to be another working day
And I'm trying to get some rest
That's all I'm trying to get some rest
