paroles de chanson American Mary - 2021 Remaster - The National

Give my jewelry 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

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

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
