Sally D Lyrics

She kissed me in the avenue

She blew away the stars

The poets dead and I am dreaming on

Sally, dear, you'll never know just how my world turned red

A honey bee just suckling

When the flowers are all dead

Leave me here

Up on the shelf

Wasted, out of time

Looking for an avalanche to clear you from my mind

Bumming all of my cigarettes

And wasted on my tears

Mom and Dad are somewhere else and they're deafening their ears

Caution thrown into the wind

I found a second breath

Taking the whole world in my arms

She begged and cried

Poured her eyes

She swore she would repent

If there's one thing I know of God

It's that you're down on your knees for lent

Leave me here

Up on the shelf

Wasted, out of time

Looking for an avalanche to clear you from my mind

Bumming all of my cigarettes

And wasted on my tears

Mom and Dad are somewhere else and they're deafening their ears

Sing my Sally D (Sing my Sally D)

Sing your melody (Sing my Sally D)

Sing my Sally D

I'm never gonna let you

I'm never gonna let you go away

Standing in the ashes

Of a fire we had built

I've held my breath for far too long

You moved on

You're far along

You lie in a different bed

Here I am just marveling with the ghost inside my head

Leave me here

Up on the shelf

Wasted, out of time

Looking for an avalanche to clear you from my mind

Bumming all of my cigarettes

And wasted on my tears

Mom and Dad are somewhere else and they're deafening their ears

She kissed me in the avenue

She blew away the stars

The poets dead and I am dreaming on
