Versuri 05. Independence Day

Well Papa go to bed now it's getting late  
Nothing we can say is gonna change anything now  
I'll be leaving in the morning from St. Mary's Gate  
We wouldn't change this thing even if we could somehow  
Cause the darkness of this house has got the best of us  
There's a darkness in this town that's got us too  
But they can't touch me now  
And you can't touch me now  
They ain't gonna do to me  
What I watched them do to you  
 
So say goodbye it's Independence Day  
It's Independence Day  
All down the line  
Just say goodbye it's Independence Day  
It's Independence Day this time  
 
Now I don't know what it always was with us  
We chose the words, and yeah, we drew the lines  
There was just no way this house could hold the two of us  
I guess that we were just too much of the same kind  
 
Well say goodbye it's Independence Day  
It's Independence Day all boys must run away  
So say goodbye it's Independence Day  
All men must make their way come Independence Day  
 
Now the rooms are all empty down at Frankie's joint  
And the highway she's deserted clear down to Breaker's Point  
There's a lot of people leaving town now  
leaving their friends, their homes  
At night they walk that dark and dusty highway all alone  
 
Well Papa go to bed now, it's getting late  
Nothing we can say can change anything now  
Because there's just different people coming down here now and they see things in different ways  
And soon everything we've known will just be swept away  
 
So say goodbye it's Independence Day  
Papa now I know the things you wanted that you could not say  
But won't you just say goodbye it's Independence Day  
I swear I never meant to take those things away
