Tom McRae - American Spirit Lyrics

Stood here
At the edge of the world, dear
Three wishes for you
As the tide turns
Salt water
Meets with the skies, dear
Meets with your eyes my dear
As the day dies
I've seen this trick before
Watch the waves
Write your name
On the shore

And hold your breath
There's still time left
Come on hold your breath
Swim with me
Further from the shore
Swim with me
Till I can swim no more

She strikes up
American Spirit
And a conversation
About nothing
Says I've burned
All colour and flame from
This hard ambition
That once held me
But I feel love's
Season shift
This heat has
Lost it's grip
On us

And hold your breath
There's still time left
Come on hold your breath
Swim with me
Further from the shore
Swim with me
Till I can swim no more

And I know
What you won't say
For all this stolen time
Someone pays

And hold your breath
There's still time left
Come on hold your breath
Swim with me
Further from the shore
Swim with me
I'll swim no more
