American Babes - Henry Jamison

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

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
