AMERICA - I NEED YOU

O America foi um grupo interessante surgido no começo dos anos 70, com um bom vocal e bons instrumentistas. Não sei por que sumiu do mapa. Dizem que em 2008 eles andaram cantando em São Paulo. Sei lá. A Wikipedia diz que eles são "uma banda britânica de folk rock", coisa que eu acho meio estranha pelo sotaque e pelo nome. Enfim, como Eric Clapton é inglês e é o rei do blues, eu não duvido mais de nada.

Letra e música: Gerry Beckley

We used to laugh
We used to cry
We used to bow our heads then
Wonder why
But now you're gone
I guess I'll carry on
And make the best of what you left to me
Left to me, left to me

I need you
Like the flower needs the rain
You know, I need you
Guess I'll start it all again
You know, I need you
Like the winter needs the spring
You know, I need you
I need you

And every day
I'd laugh the hours away
Just knowing you were thinking of me
Then it came
That I was put to blame
For every story told about me
About me, about me

I need you
Like the flower needs the rain
You know, I need you
Guess I'll start it all again
You know, I need you
I need you, I need you

Like the winter needs the spring
You know, I need you
Guess I'll start it all again
You know, I need you
I need you, I need you
