American Legion Songtext
von The Welcome Wagon

In the streetlight your hair is the blackest sky
Through the snow the cars silently pass us by
When you smile there′s no reason to say goodbye
Don't say goodbye


I still have the last letter you left for me
All your t-shirts, your red and green pedigree
All the rest is sealed up behind memory
Fading away

On the steps of the American Legion Hall
You wait there alone, nobody left to call
No one′s there again spring, summer, winter, fall
Terrible day

If I'd been there I'd surely have stayed with you
If I′d been there I′d surely have prayed for you
If I'd been there I′d surely have prayed for you
Want you to know
