American Lovers
[Verse 1]
I was walking with my Mona by the San Francisco Bay
People laughing people crying we could hear those guitars play
I remember a bright new dawn, wasn't everything we did pretend?
Or the beginning of the end?

[Chorus]
You may be the last to walk in the garden
Your life should be living to love one another
And it is no crime to walk with your brother
You're playing with time American Lovers

[Verse 2]
All around me I see women with no fire behind their eyes
They are grieving like a blackbird when their wings no longer fly
When they ask me 'Tell me why?' all that I can say is hear your heart
You should have listened from the start

[Chorus]
You may be the last to walk in the garden
Your life should be living to love one another
And it is no crime to walk with your brother
You're playing with time American Lovers

[Verse 3]
I remember a bright new dawn, wasn't everything we did pretend?
Or the beginning of the end?
[Chorus]
You may be the last to walk in the garden
Your life should be living to love one another
And it is no crime to walk with your brother
You're playing with time American Lovers

[Chorus]
You may be the last to walk in the garden
Your life should be living to love one another
And it is no crime to walk with your brother
You're playing with time American Lovers
