Song Lyrics

American Babes

Surpassing strange, to see them on the train coming of age and looking for what? American babes, in the wind and the rain
where's the milk or the flame, or something to trust?

All in time, will we see both sides, will we see both sides

I took a whiskey neat and walked out to the street where a wild man whistled and swayed
and up came a wind, from Paradise blowin' in
at least that's what I told him and he blessed the day

All in time, will we see both sides, will we see both all love's excelling yeah
All in time, will we see both sides, will we see both sides

and she's lookin' like a wolf now and the dreaming time ain't over and the house is burning down and the forest leans away
I am an American, babe
and she's lookin' like an angel now
standing on the roof saying something I can't make out
Oh and she's singin', she's singin'

All in time, will we see both sides, will we see both all love's excelling yeah
All in time, will we see both sides, will we see both sides

Henry Jamison, Thomas Wayland Bartlett
