Concert In Central Park

Simon&Garfunkel Concert In Central Park Album

9.American Tune

Many's the time I've been mistaken, and many times confused
Yes and I've often felt forsaken, and certainly misused
Ah but I'm alright, I'm alright, I'm just weary thru my bones
Still you don't expect to be bright and bon-vivant
So far away from home, so far away from home

And 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
But it's alright, it's alright, for we live 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

But we come on a ship they called Mayflower
We come on a ship that sailed the moon
We come in the ages' most uncertain hours and sing an American
tune
And it's alright, oh it's alright, it's alright, you can be
forever blessed
Still tomorrow's gonna be another working day and I'm trying to
get some rest
That's all I'm trying, to get some rest
