The Boss Americana Songtext
von Albert Hammond, Jr.

Jump as you go
Alone inside my room
Just for a bit
Can′t you see
I watch as you go by
While all the others try
For a while

Oh can't you stay
On my face
These stains you can′t see
Now have you gone
For a bit
I know you're not the same
It's hard for me to blame


Well I won′t know
If I won′t ask you to stay
Would you let me go?
And I will have your way
You know they took it down
The things you'd say

Crap, have you seen
We trust an empty green
With a face of regret
We could have washed the stains
And now the night remains
After all I′m not with you
And I know the trees go back below
High as we fly one more time
I'm not beneath the wind
I′m not beneath the wind

Well you're all I know
And I don′t want you to stay
Oh won't you please let me go
I wouldn't have you that way
Disperse our love
If you won′t ask me to pay

Oh
