The Ghost Of Autumn - Darling You Should Be Ashamed cover

I wish that you could see it from here on Ellis Island.
I wish that you could feel it the way it felt back then.
I wish that you could hear the waves gently crashing on the shore.
I wish that you could sense the freedom from this island.
I wish that you could taste those words form in your mouth.
I wish that you could hope the hope felt on this island – give me your – tired & poor – room for more.

There used to be a light, always shining, always bright.
You could see it ‘fore you reached the shore.
The light is still there, last I checked,  no one cared.
I don’t think it’s shining anymore.
I’m cry - ing, I’m try - ing to understand just what the light was for.
They all swear the light’s still there but I don’t think it’s shining anymore.

There used to be a song, we’d be singing all night long.
Singing it would	keep us on our toes.
No one sings it now, it won’t matter anyhow.
I think they forgot the way it goes.
I’m crying, I’m trying to hear the song above the rocket’s roar.
They all say, “We still sing that song today, but I don’t think they sing it anymore.

There used to be a dream, dreamers were abundant then.
There was nothing getting in our way.
We were living free, purple mountain’s majesty
I don’t think we’re dreaming still today.
I’m crying, I’m trying to make a little sense in what they say.
The longer I’m awake, the more I see the big mistake. I don’t think we’re dreaming still today.

She’s not ready to call it over; she’s not ready to quit.
You probably see it if you really know her she’s not giving in a bit.
It’s common knowledge she can be stubborn, she’s a feisty gal.
I don’t suppose this will even slow her, she’s not quitting now.
It’s just a little bump in the road for her, like Teapot Dome and Watergate.
She’s gonna survive and thrive, you’ll see, she’s gonna turn out great.
I know it looks bad, but take my word, she’s running up her pole.
She’s got it under control, wait and see, she’s Lady Liberty.

She’s seen worse than this and she’s recovered. She’s seen darker nights.
Don’t forget all the wars she’s covered, don’t forget Civil Rights.
She has the courage, she has the wisdom,  she has the wherewithal.
She has you and me to   keep her going, she’s gonna need us all.
It’s just a little bump in the road for her, like the Crash of 29.
She’s gonna survive and thrive, you’ll see, she will be just fine.
I know it looks bad, but take my word, she’s running up her pole.
She’s got it under control, wait and see, she’s Lady Liberty.
