American Hearts

LETRA

American Hearts

They were married in September back in 1969
They travelled east to India, to find some peace of mind
……………………………, they were children of their time, whoa, whoa

Oh they lived in a world that was cold and uncaring
Swear they would change it with loving and sharing
They never lived like their parents had done
The innocent ……… like the sun

American hearts, so filled with emotion
American hearts, ooh, so easily broken

Now they’ve got a family and a cottage in the hills
He’s always working hard to pay the mortgage and the bills
And she has trouble sleeping, though the doctor gives her pills, whoa, whoa

Ooh, just look at them
Who are these strangers who used to be lovers
Now they have nothing to say to each other
Too far apart to discuss their mistakes
They’ll file for divorce and be brave

Their American hearts, so filled with emotion
American hearts, ooh, so easily broken

All they needed was love
All they needed was love
All they needed was love
Ooh yeah

Now that it’s over they’ll each go on living
Never forgetting but somehow forgiving
They care for their children, protect them from crying
And that’s how the dream will survive

In American hearts, so filled with emotion
American hearts, ooh, so easily broken, ooh

Oh, American hearts, so filled with emotion
American hearts, so easily broken
Now you can feel the pain inside
Feel it, not afraid to cry, no
