My Love is in America

歌詞

Called for this place with my working hands Sea crossing turn my inside Left to the sound of the marching band We sail at the change of the tide When I saw Mary, her father said He was sailing across the deep blue Brighter new days in a promised land She would be going there too So I keep her in my mind There's a picture on my wall Oh, my love is in America My love could be anywhere at all Oh, how we cried on that darkest night Everyone leaving the land The old generation just sitting tight And all of us young bucks with plans I'm using the name of another man To get a job here for more pay I'll walk these strange streets for a better life London's the place, so they say And I keep her in my mind There's a picture on my wall Oh, my love, she's in America My love could be anywhere at all Anywhere at all... The music's the one thing that's travelled well We meet up and play from our soul The kitchen, the work yard and the Seven Bells Gives us a glimpse of our homes Maybe I'll make it to New York state Maybe I'll just up and go Maybe I'll get back to my hometown See if there's work, I don't know I sent many a letter to no avail Her silence is deafening to me Maybe she lives with another man Crossing the new country Till I know, I keep her in my mind There's a picture on my wall Oh, my love is in America My love could be anywhere at all...
