Eva Cassidy American Tune Lyrics

American Tune Lyrics

Many's the time I've been mistaken

And many times confused

Many's the time I've been forsaken

And certainly abused

But it's all right, it's all right

You can't be forever blessed

When I think of another working day

I've just got to get some rest

I've got to get some rest



I don't know a soul who's not been battered

Don't have a friend who feels at ease

Don't know a dream that's not been shattered

Or driven to its knees

Oh but it's all right, it's all right

We've lived so well so long

And when I think of the road we've travelled on

So far away from home

So far away from home



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

In a dream I was flying



We come on the ship they call the Mayflower

We come on the ship that sailed the moon

We come in the age's most uncertain hour

And we sing an American tune

Oh but it's all right, it's all right

You can't be forever blessed

And when I think of another working day

I've just got to get some rest

I've got to get some rest
