Lyrics of

American lovers

	
I was walking / with my Mona / by the San Francisco Bay
People laughing / people crying / We could hear those guitars play
I remember / a bright new dawn
Wasn't everything we did / pretend? / Or the beginning  / of the end?

(Chorus)
You may be the last / to walk in the garden
Your life should be living / to love one another
And it is no crime / to walk with your brother
You're playing with time / American Lovers

All around me / I see women / with no fire behind their eyes
They are grieving / like a blackbird / when their wings no longer fly
When they ask me / 'Tell me why?'
All that I can say is hear your heart / You should have listened / from the start

(Chorus)

I remember / a bright new dawn
Wasn't everything we did / pretend? / Or the beginning  / of the end?

(Chorus)
