The strange young man who comes to me

A soldier on a three day spree

He needs one night's cheap ecstasy

And a woman's arms to hide him

And hides his pain by acting proud

He drinks too much and he laughs too loud
D7 Gm
How can I deny him.
Gm F7
Bb F
Let us dance beneath the moon

I'll sing to you 'Claire de Lune'

The morning always comes too soon

But tonight the war is over

Can you hear those engines drone

I wanted to go to Mexico

It's been three years since he's gone

And if I could get that feeling back
D C G
I'd give up everything I own

C
Everything's in slow motion now
D
In this little border town
C D
I've come so close from so far

Just to hide behind these windows here

From the world outside

I watch those cars and trucks raise trails of dust
D C
Down the road as they pass by Valerie...
{Chorus}
C G
Everything I own
C G
Everything I own
