作词 : Carpenter | |
I'm standing at a traffic light somewhere in | |
West L.A.Waiting for the sign to change then | |
I'll be on my way | |
The noise, the heat, the crush of cars just robs me of my nerve | |
And someone yells and blasts their horn and pins me to the curb | |
I'm a stranger here, no one you would know | |
My ship has not come in but | |
I keep hoping though | |
And I keep looking past, the sun that sets above | |
Saying to myself, goodnight | |
AmericaAnd | |
I'm driving into | |
Houston on a rain slicked | |
Texas road | |
Land so flat and sky so dark, | |
I say a prayer to float | |
Should all at once the | |
Sanasito surge beyond it's banks | |
Like Noah reaching higher ground | |
I'd offer up my thanks' | |
Cause I'm a stranger here, no one you would know | |
I'm just passing through, | |
I am therefore | |
I goThe moon rose in the east but now it's right above | |
As I say aloud, goodnight | |
AmericaMidnight, it's hard to see the stars | |
Out on a highway near | |
AtlantaFull of strip malls and used cars | |
First light just roll your window down | |
And smell the salty air | |
Perfume of | |
Charleston | |
TownI'm looking with a pilgrim's eyes upon some promised land | |
And dreaming with my heart outstretched as if it were my hand | |
And I'll hit the cross | |
Bronx just in time to beat the rush hour lock | |
I've got no clue what time it is from this world's busted clock | |
I'm a stranger here, no one you would know | |
I'm from somewhere else, well, isn't everybody though? | |
I don't know where | |
I'll be when the sun comes up | |
Until then sweet dreams, goodnight | |
America |
