Текст пісні
Mobile home along the river
From the heartland, she's delivered
Steals the naked truth from me
And I don't stand a chance
Love is like a summer heatwave
Humid air, it's hard to behave
Swimming in the danger
Of American romance
Safe inside and air conditioned
Mirror rendezvous omission
Trying to be conscious
In a crazy circumstance
She drove up here afternoon like
Racing up the lonely turnpike
Found an open diner
And American romance
Time won't tell
It never says a word
I only wait
And I can't say I wait too well
Every day
The same old arrow on a string
Sings its way from heaven's bow
And I swing safely over hell
Safely over hell
Police sirens pierce the silence
Break the spell of inner violence
A war between my mind and body
Started by a glance
My body fueled by love and trust
Is ambushed by my mental justice
Truth is dust in sunlight
In American romance
Time won't tell
It never says a word
I only wait
And I can't say I wait too well
Every day
The same old arrow on a string
Sings its way from heaven's bow
And I swing safely over hell
Safely over hell
We sit in the car alone
Now's the time for stealing home
Feel a little joy before
The many sides advance
And now as history allows
All my lines are hidden vows
Immortalized in song
For my American Romance
Time won't tell
It never says a word
I only wait
And I can't say I wait too well
Every day
The same old arrow on a string
Sings its way from heaven's bow
And I swing safely over hell
Safely over hell
