Green Eyed American Actress Songtext
von Jimmy Campbell

Could′ve made it easily
Why I didn't, well I really don′t know.
It could be I loved her,
knowing that it wouldn't last.
She told me I was different
and that she wanted to understand.
By the time i'd made my mind up to take her,
she was leaving on the midnight express
That Green-Eyed American Actress,
who once had told me she′d try to make it with me.
I′m here thinking how it could've been.
She′s on the stage in New York.
I wonder if she ever thinks of me,
I don't suppose so.
She told me I was different and that she wanted to understand,
by the time i′d made my mind up to take her,
she was leaving on the midnight express,
that Green-Eyed American Actress,


who once had to me that she'd try to make it with me.
I′m here and the bloomin' view from my window
is a Paddington Roof.
Think i'll put my coat on,
and go and walk awhile.
She told me I was different and that she wanted to understand.
By the time i′d made my mind up to take her,
she was leaving on the midnight express.
That Green-Eyed American Actress,
who once had told me that she′d try to make it with me.
She was leaving on the midnight express.
I could've made it easily,
why I didn′t, well I really don't know.
I could′ve made it easily,
why I didn't, well I really don′t know.
I could've made it easily...
I could've made it easily...
I could′ve made it easily...
