Lyrics for Lonley American Nights by They Might Be Giants:
| | | Artist: | They Might Be Giants |
| | Album: | Prozzak Saturday People | | Track: | Lonley American Nights | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 101 | | | | Lyrics: | A dream that's old
A song that's new
Money borrowed, guitar blue
True love tries, but
has to fail
When distance, time and space prevail
I can still see the clothes we
wore and the bar next door
And the dirty floor and the day we left home for a rock and roll
tour of America
There was Milo and me it's true and the songs we knew and a picture of
you
And a beat up van with a guitar in my hand so I could work it through
Lonely
American nights
Can make you hungry for the arms of someone new
But put me under the
lights
I'd never jeopardize the trust I had with you
And I hope you found yourself another
lover with a heart that's true
Someone to say to you
Hold tight, shine bright,
tonight I'll be coming right home to you
Day light, stay bright, it's alright I'll be makin' it
home to you
We used to pray for the end of school, for our favorite tune, up in my
bedroom
Where I would wait for you baby in the parking lot to get you in the afternoon
Do
you remember the way we talked when I dropped you off 'till the sun came up
When I awoke to
find you sleeping at the opposite end of the telephone
But everything has a
price
Ambition ordered me to do what I must do
Another love sacrificed
Another offer
to the gods of losing you
And I hope you realize my heart will always hold a place for
you
When I used to say to you
Chorus
And where were you baby when the
wheels on my bus broke down
And where was I darlin' when you needed me to be around
And I
suppose I'll never find another lover with a heart so true
Someone to say to
you
Hold tight
Tonight
Day light
It's alright
I can still see
the cloths we wore and the bar next door
And dirty floor and the day we left home for a rock
and roll tour of America
There was Milo and me it's true and the songs we knew and a picture of
you | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
