Goodnight America - Tony Carey

She wraps her coat around her

Reaches in her bag for something

Something that might keep away the cold

And she holds the broken mirror up

Looks quickly round embarrassed

And she wonders how she ever got so old

She says goodnight America

Goodnight America

Wherever you are

Goodnight America

Sleep tight America

Wherever you are

Wherever you are

And she’s heard all the promises

Still sleeps in the doorway

And the wind comes off the river like a fist

And she feels like an island

As the crowd make way around her

And the rain washes her face just like a kiss

She says goodnight America

Goodnight America

Wherever you are

Goodnight America

Sleep tight America

Wherever you are

Wherever you are
