The Green Light Paroles

was not to say that I didn't mean to - no



I've been biding my time

becoming the man you've always wanted of me

And now I've got you in my life, and I won't let go



I don't know whether I should go or stop

every time I see that green light at the end of your dock



But I've been biding my time


Daisy, please don't make me beg

I would up and leave West Egg

if it's what you demand



We could just keep moving east

where I'll build you a new life

where the ocean meets the sand



I would give all of this up

I would drain this well-filled cup

if it meant you at my side



But I know things aren't as they seem

If I gave up this American dream

I could never catch your eye
