[00:00.00]American Moon - Sailship
[00:31.81]Written by:Michael Stipe
[01:03.62]I heard my lady in white sing out in the woods
[01:06.98]
[01:07.86]But there in the summer air I was frozen where I stood
[01:12.16]
[01:13.75]Cause witches hide behind the trees
[01:15.64]
[01:18.34]And they laugh at delicate bones in my sunken skin
[01:21.49]
[01:22.48]The body of a fragile man I'm feeling trapped in
[01:26.59]
[01:27.54]But I can see my hands begin to change
[01:30.63]
[01:33.03]And I open up beneath an American moon
[01:36.29]
[01:37.28]I'll be beside her singing with her soon
[01:39.93]
[01:40.94]I've breached these forest walls in front of me before
[01:45.56]
[01:46.87]I'll be hers soon
[01:48.95]
[01:50.08]Cause I'm the same
[01:51.26]
[01:52.24]Though all the features of my face have changed
[01:55.78]
[01:56.77]And I I I can feel no pain
[02:00.34]
[02:03.76]So throw them all away
[02:06.06]
[02:07.06]All your silver bullets
[02:08.82]And all your strongest chains
[02:10.36]
[02:11.59]The sight of me may have changed
[02:15.33]
[02:16.80]But the inside stays the same
[02:19.05]
[02:26.25]The same
[02:26.62]
[02:32.25]And I walk alone in the night
[02:33.73]
[02:34.46]Following her song
[02:35.36]
[02:36.45]The light of a thousand enchantments illuminate the ground
[02:41.40]
[02:42.46]Everything evil cowers away
[02:44.46]
[02:47.05]And I enter into the field that she's singing from
[02:50.13]
[02:51.10]Don't want her to turn away and run
[02:53.69]
[02:54.82]With all of the softness in my voice I'll find a way
[02:59.70]
[03:01.16]To say
[03:01.57]
[03:05.86]That I'm the same
[03:07.09]
[03:07.68]Though all the features of my face have changed
[03:11.62]
[03:12.42]And I I I can feel no pain
[03:16.04]
[03:19.56]So throw them all away
[03:21.80]
[03:22.80]All your silver bullets
[03:23.89]
[03:24.58]And all your strongest chains
[03:25.91]
[03:27.22]The sight of me may have changed
[03:30.80]
[03:32.50]But the inside stays the same
[03:34.51]
[03:36.00]And now she turns to face me there
[03:38.27]
[03:39.54]She stops singing and stares
[03:41.68]And I I I am scared
[03:45.68]
[03:49.99]Without a word she floats across the grass
[03:52.82]
[03:54.05]And puts her ivory hand inside
[03:57.04]
[04:00.31]Of mine
[04:00.70]
[04:04.89]Cause I'm the same
[04:05.92]
[04:07.06]Though all the features of my face have changed
[04:10.54]
[04:11.42]And I I I can feel no pain
[04:14.86]
[04:18.53]So throw them all away
[04:20.81]
[04:21.68]All your silver bullets
[04:22.99]
[04:23.49]And all your strongest chains
[04:24.94]
[04:26.24]The sight of me may have changed
[04:29.86]
[04:31.51]But the inside stays the same
[04:33.55]
[04:46.74]And the inside stays the same
[04:48.54]
[05:01.68]And the inside stays the same
