there was a girl   there was a shoreline   was an american dream   hear her laughing   really feels like   an american dream      there was a t.v. turned down   still i heard a scream   and i woke up   from my american dream      how long have i been sleeping?   how long til i rest in your arms again?      there was a white rose   and she shone there   in an american dream   through the rocket red glare   of an american dream      through the shut blind   the sunshine, in a broken beam   woke me up   from my american dream      how long have i been sleeping?   how long til i rest in your arms again?      i still look for the girl   along the shoreline   of an american dream   the wind on her dress   waving the bright flag   of an american dream
