American Tune - Kurt Elling (库特·艾灵)
Written by：Paul Simon
Many is the time I've been mistaken
And many times confused
Yes and I've also felt forsaken
And certainly misused
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 away 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 it's knees
But it's alright
It's alright
'Cos we have lived so well so long
Still when I think about the road we're travelling 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 from high up above my eyes could clearly see the statue of liberty
Sailing away to sea
And I dreamed I was flying
And we come on the ship they call mayflower
We come on the ship that sailed the moon
We come in the ages most uncertain hour
And we sing an American tune
Oh but it's alright
It's alright it's alright
You can't be forever blessed
Still tomorrow's gonna be another working day
And I'm trying to get some rest
That's all I'm just trying
To get some rest
