Please don't cry Please don't waste your tears on me Keep your head on straight and make your way Down the road that holds your dreams WIll you kiss me And be glad for all we done On the day I'm bound for America If the tides of time tear us apart And make a shipwreck of our love May we learn to mend these broken hearts And walk beneath a warmer sun It's far away, far far away Far away I am going I'm alive Though a part of me is gone There's a weight upon my shoulders And the air won't fill my lungs One more broken soul One more verse in some old song On the day I'm bound for America The stars are falling Will the heavens come undone On the day I'm bound for America
