Crosby Stills & Nash - 49 Bye-byes lyrics

rate me

Stills, 1969<br />

<br />

49 reasons all in a line<br />

All of them good ones, all of them lise.<br />

Drifting with my lady, we're oldest of friends<br />

Need a little work and there's fences to mend.<br />

Steady girl, be my world.<br />

Till the drifter come, now she's gone.<br />

I let that man play his hand,<br />

I let them go, how was I to know?<br />

I'm down on my knees, nobody left to please.<br />

Now it's over, they left in the spring.<br />

Her and the drifter, lookin' for beautiful things.<br />

Steady girl, be my world.<br />

Till the drifter come, now she's gone.<br />

I let that man play his hand,<br />

I let them go, how was I to know?<br />

I'm down on my knees, nobody left to please.<br />

(Poem of "America's Children" by Stephen Stills)
