She wraps her coat around her
reaches in her bag for something
something that might keep away the cold
and she holds the broken mirror up
looks quickly round embarrassed
and she wonders how she ever got so old

she says goodnight america,
goodnight america
wherever you are
goodnight america,
sleep tight america
wherever you are,
wherever you are

and she's heard all the promises
still sleeps in the doorway
and the wind comes off the river like a fist
and she feels like an island
as the crowd make way around her
and the rain washes her face just like a kiss

she says goodnight america,
goodnight america
wherever you are
goodnight america,
sleep tight america
wherever you are,
wherever you are

goodnight america
goodnight america
goodnight america

goodnight america
goodnight america
goodnight america
yeah, when she came here she was young
she was alive she was not broken
she had nothin' but her talent and her dreams
and one by one her dreams just died
like words unspoken
and she's driftin' like a pebble on a stream

she says goodnight america,
goodnight america
wherever you are
goodnight america,
sleep tight america
wherever you are,
wherever you are

she says goodnight
goodnight, goodnight america
she says goodnight
goodnight, goodnight america

and she reaches in her bag for something
something to help her
she's got nothing but her talent, and her dreams
she says goodnight
