The Welcome Wagon - American Legion lyrics
[The Welcome Wagon - American Legion lyrics]
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
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
