American Legion

verse 1 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 Instrumental verse 2 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. Instrumental (x2) verse 3 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 Instrumental (x2) verse 4 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 I want you to know Outro
