Yestyn Griffiths - Sweet America lyrics

[Verse 1] The perfect house is all alone The grape of wine in slanted groves The haunt of laughter in the air Roses on beams, tranquil and warm Deep in the liquid blue the ocean fills my soul Purring like a cat on a swing [Chorus] Sweet America, where did you go to? Just as the day grows dark I hear the music, playing in shadows When did you lose your heart? [Verse 2] His rounded head and Asian eyes Burnt by a sorrow he can't hide Time is slowing down, will this ever end? And there it waits, closed to the world Cracking the soil, making my fate There's still a part of me I left there [Chorus] Sweet America, where did you go to? Just as the day grows dark I hear the music, playing in shadows When did you lose your heart? [Bridge] Cause when I feared it most, that's when I had to jump That's when I knew that life only happens once [Outro] Sweet my love, sweet my love Sweet my love, sweet my love
