American Hearts

They were married in September back in 1969They travelled, these two Indians,To find some peace of mindThey stood for love and freedomThey were children of their time oh oh

They lived in a world that was cold and uncaringThey swore they would change itwith loving and shareingThey'll never live like their parents have doneTheir innocence shone like the sun

American hearts, so filled with emotionAmerican hearts, so easily broken

Now they've got a family and a cottage in the hillsHe's always working late to pay the mortgage and the billsAnd she has trouble sleepingSo the doctor gives her pills oh oh

Who are these strangers who used to be loversNow they've got nothing to say to each otherToo far apart to discuss their mistakesThey filed for divorce and it breaks theirAmerican hearts, so fiIled with emotionAmerican hearts, so easily broken

Ah - American heartsAh - American hearts, American hearts

Now that it's over they'll each go on livingNever forgetting but somehow forgivingThey'll care for their children protect them with prideAnd that's how their dream will survive inAmerican hearts, so filled with emotionAmerican hearts, so easily broken

American hearts, so filled with emotionAmerican hearts, so easily broken
