The National - 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 can 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 shoulderblades 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.
