I need my conscience to keep watch over me
To protect me from myself
So I can wear honesty like a crown on my head
When I walk into the promised land

We've been too long American dreaming
I think we've all lost the way
Forlorn somnambulistic maniacal
In the dark

I'm in love with an American girl
Well, she's my best friend
I love her surreptitious smile
That hides the pain within her

And we'll go dancing in the rings of laughter
And leave alone by the shores
Feel alone in the brands of rapture
And leave alone for the loss

Yeah, on the lea the rising wind blows
Yeah, on the lea the rising wind blows
How long? How long?

Here alone on the grounds of allegiances
We've left behind
Turned back by the foot of the doorway
Never lost and found

We've been too long American dreaming
I think we've all lost the heart
Forlorn somnambulistic maniacal
In the dark

Yeah, on the lea the rising wind blows
Yeah, on the lea the rising wind blows
How long? How long?

I'm not sure what he means. He sings of a huge area millions of acres of grassland, semi desert and sand hills, much of it with no signs of modern man. You can find teepee rings on some of high points of land where the Indians camped to catch the wind and escape the bugs. there's not a lot to show white man history and really Indian history is just stories passed down instead of written down.

Here's another guy who sings a lot about Alberta. Tom Russell. This is what Alberta was like not very long ago.



Alberta has only been a province for about 100 years. Some of us older guys think what some call history was really current events for us. LOL
