Russians And Americans - Al Stewart[00:00:00]

So here we stand at the edge of 1984 [00:00:07]

Bracing ourselves once again [00:00:12]

For the storm approaching is those[00:00:16]

Who long before huddled in caves from[00:00:19]

The rain [00:00:22]

The enemy's face is so hard to see [00:00:23]

Sometimes it seems that I see him in you [00:00:27]

Sometimes in me [00:00:31]

Who can it be [00:00:33]

No use consulting the prophets and leaders [00:00:35]

They all disagree [00:00:39]

Russians and Americans [00:00:43]

Here's a song for you [00:00:46]

Who carry the weight of the world[00:00:48]

On your heads [00:00:50]

Russians and Americans [00:00:54]

Tell me if it's true [00:00:57]

You really believe all the things[00:00:58]

That you've said [00:01:01]

The red white and blue running into the red [00:01:03]

From the wars of Europe [00:01:09]

The pilgrim fathers set off with their hopes[00:01:11]

And their bond [00:01:15]

Some settled down by the coast [00:01:17]

Others cross the mountains and into the[00:01:19]

Flatlands beyond [00:01:22]

From the scramble and dust of[00:01:24]

Muscovite streets [00:01:27]

Merchants develop the trade routes [00:01:28]

And open the door to the east [00:01:31]

Pioneer waves[00:01:35]

Choked by the cold breath of winter [00:01:36]

And baked by the heat of the day [00:01:39]

Russians and Americans [00:01:44]

Passing through the fire of revolution[00:01:47]

And coming of age [00:01:51]

Russians and Americans [00:01:55]

Driven by desire two players[00:01:58]

Push to the front of the stage [00:02:01]

The whole world now watches[00:02:04]

Each move that you make [00:02:06]

Two runners caught in the thrill of the race [00:02:26]

The finishing line is as far as the stars[00:02:30]

That the satellites chase [00:02:34]

Why quicken the pace [00:02:36]

Why does it seem[00:02:38]

That you choose to lose reason[00:02:39]

Before losing face [00:02:41]

Russians and Americans [00:02:45]

Driven by the past the third world moves[00:02:49]

In the shadows you cast [00:02:52]

Russians and Americans [00:02:56]

Can turn the world to dust [00:02:59]

So much to live for [00:03:01]

So much undiscussed [00:03:03]

So much in common and so little trust [00:03:05]

From the streets of athens and rome[00:03:12]

The voices still echo to crumbling walls [00:03:15]

Look to the past and remember[00:03:20]

No empire rises that sooner or later[00:03:22]

Won't fall [00:03:26]

Forever the changes we still have to face [00:03:27]

Some people say that a country[00:03:31]

Is more and idea than a place [00:03:34]

Though nothing is safe [00:03:37]

We still choose the mark[00:03:39]

That we leave on the open canvas of space [00:03:40]

Russians and Americans [00:03:47]

Maybe you should see into the[00:03:50]

Heart of the world not its head [00:03:53]

Russians and Americans [00:03:58]

If you want to be the beat of the world [00:04:01]

Better mind where you tread [00:04:04]

The footsteps of history are left where you step [00:04:07]

So here we stand at the edge of 1984[00:04:17]
