American Boy

Here the Winter is done
Fine lines around your eyes
And I don't know where you've been
So lost you are
Just hollow inside

A few words upon the water
The blue of the sea in your eyes
A part of you wants to start living
The rest of your life

And wherever I am
I'd find you a friend
To hold you again
But I am just
A tourist in flight
I am just as
Hollow inside

A few words upon the water
The blue sea in your eyes
Part of you wants to start living
The rest of your life

American land
A soldier inside
An American boy
An American boy
An American boy
An American boy

Soon as the wind turns
I travel on, a sure goodbye
I leave you there peacefully
Under the Vietnam sky
