mary chapin carpenter - goodnight america (orchestral version) كلمات الأغنية

[verse 1]
i’m standing at a traffic light somewhere in west l.a.
waiting for the sign to change then i’ll be on my way
the noise, the heat, the crush of cars just robs me of my nerve
and someone yells and blasts their h_rn and pins me to the curb

[chorus]
i’m a stranger here, no one you would know
my ship has not come in, i keep hoping though
and i keep looking past the sun that sets above
saying to myself, goodnight america

[verse 2]
and i’m driving into houston on a rain_sl!cked texas road
land so flat and sky so dark, i say a prayer to float
should all at once the san jacinto surge beyond its banks
like noah reaching higher ground i’d offer up my thanks

[chorus]
’cause i’m a stranger here, no one you would know
i’m just passing through, i am therefore i go
the moon rose in the east, but now it’s right above
as i say aloud, goodnight america

[bridge]
midnight, it’s hard to see the stars
out on a highway near atlanta full of strip malls and used cars
first light, just roll your window down and smell
the salty air perfume of charleston town
[verse 3]
i’m looking with a pilgrim’s eyes upon some promised land
and dreaming with my heart outstretched as if it were my hand
and i’ll hit the cross bronx just in time to beat the rush hour lock
but i have no clue what time it is from this world’s broken clock

[chorus]
i’m a stranger here, no one you would know
i’m from somewhere else, isn’t everybody though?
i don’t know where i’ll be when the sun comes up
’til then sweet dreams, goodnight america
