Letra de America
I can feel your hands reach into me.

The breathe & scent of your queer geography

The wild tribes who are guarding your door

The secret sands that have slept on the floor of your sea.

You - would you ever think of me?



Think of me & the shape of my body

the stone walls that i kicked down to be with you

the wild mountain for which i was named.



Your poison i drink like a tonic it strengthens me

The strange fire of your breath on my body

America would you please consider me?



And the southern birds will sing again with me

And the blood that fell will rise again in me

And if i have comrades at all we will meet on the shore

Of the cities & towns that have faln to the floor of the sea

And the ancient hands with fall again on to me.



Year by year on his way to the Southern Sea

Through the river�s bend & the curl of the willow tree

The village the children the dogs even stare at him

Their eyes are like thorns how they rip & tear into him

His blood spills like a pearl & like a seed

Oh- Fisherman! you can lay your hands on me.



Call to me & the shape of my body

The stone walls that i kicked down to be with you

the wild mountains for which I was named.



Your poison I drink- like a tonic it strengthens me.

The strange fire of your breath on my body

Oh, fisherman would you please consider me?



And America will fall like a man onto me

And America will fall like a man onto me
