American Mary

Give my jewels to the army My silverware and jeans Give my love to your family Tell them anything Give yourself to anyone Give yourself away Don't be a nightingale For anyone's space to fill If I could, I'd be your star again Fall across your falling sky It takes a lot of little rain To make you feel like nothing Anything, anything you care to do Do to me for everything I did for you Nothing I didn't try to take your love away I just never knew I had it [chorus] There is nothing you can say To ever make me want you American... There is nothing you can say To ever make me leave you American... American Mary If you kiss me, kiss me with your silver eyes Don't look at me like someone you don't recognize I didn't try to do this Your arms around my shoulder blades Are useless [chorus] American Mary American Mary
