Oh, and how he loved you Oh, and how he loved you Oh, and you believed him Oh, and you believed him You said you both deserve better You both deserve better Could make it a real thing Could make it a real thing
On a clear day You can see the sea from your place On a fine day You can still remember his face
He just kept right on... Imagining America He just kept right on... Imagining America
And he was so handsome He was so handsome It was 1919 It was 1919 Sailing to New York Sailing to New York Just for you Just for you
It was a clear day Waiting from the quay, saw him Was a fine day Standing with the world before him
He just kept right on... Imagining America He just kept right on... Imagining America
Don't he have no feelings... always feel like mountains and deserts and stars Cities have been tamed and they all know your name They have money and houses and cars
(sax solo)
So I stand here So I stand here In his footsteps In his footsteps We deserve better We deserve better And I can make it a real thing And I can make it a real thing
It's a clear day It's a clear day Only in a final embrace Only in a final embrace It's a fine day It's a fine day The world remember our face... The world remember our face...
And I just kept right on... Imagining America And I just kept right on... Imagining America
