I need my conscience to keep watch over me
To protect me from myself
So i can wear honesty like a crown on my head

When i walk into the promised land

We've been too long american dreaming

And i think we all lost the way
Forlorn somnambulistic maniacal in the dark
I'm in love with an american girl

Well, she's my best friend
I love her surreptitious smile
That hides the pain within her


And we'll go dancing in the rings of laughter
And leave alone by the shores

Feel alone in the brands of rapture
And leave alone for the loss


Faith, on the lea the rising wind blows
Faith, on the lea the rising wind blows
How long? how long?


Here alone on the grounds of allegiances we've left behind
Turned back by the foot of the doorway

Never lost and found

We've been too long american dreaming

I think we've lost the heart
Forlorn somnambulistic maniacal in the dark


Faith, on the lea the rising wind blows
Faith, on the lea the rising wind blows
How long? how long?
