Never See The Light

NEVER SEE THE LIGHT

I had a cigar in Havana

Lost all my money in Trinidad

People were like friends

Even with their masters all above

I had a whiskey at Omaha Beach

The sky was tinny and grey

Where did you hide your black heroes?

America, I hope this was not in vain

So I washed my face with muddy water

I washed my face with cold cold water

With the sun at my back

I only see my shadow

With the sun at my back

I never see the light

I never see the light

You crashed into my car in Paris

And took me home at night

Je ne sais comment et

Je ne sais pourquoi

You showed me your little pantry

Wanted me to stay until the morning light

But I was on a trip to my fathers

But I was on a trip to myself

So I washed my face with muddy water

I washed my face with cold cold water

With the sun at my back

I only see my shadow

With the sun at my back

I never see the light

I never see the light

I washed my face with muddy water

I washed my face with cold cold water

With the sun at my back

I only see my shadow

With the sun at my back

I never see the light

I never see the light

With the sun at my back

I only see my shadow

With the sun at my back

I never see the light

I never see the light

With the sun at my back

I only see my shadow

With the sun at my back

I never see the light

I never see the light

I never see the light

With the sun at my back

I only see my shadow

With the sun at my back

I never see the light

I never see the light
