The Boss Americana

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
