Henry Jamison American Babes Lyrics

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
