Sally D

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
