Want to read the lyrics to a great, sad song?
Sally's
Pigeons
Written by�Cyndi Lauper,�Mary
Chapin Carpenter
When I was eight I had a
friend
With a pirate smile
Make believe and play
pretend
We were innocent and wild
Hopped a fence and slammed
the gate
Running down my alleyway
In time to watch Sally's
pigeons fly
We loved to watch them dive
and soar
Circle in the sky
Free as a bird from three to
four
And never knowing why
Neighbors pulled their wash
back in
Put away my Barbie and Ken
Look out overhead
While Sally's pigeons fly
I had a fool's confidence
That the world had no
boundaries
But instincts and common
sense
Come in different quantities
My heart began to
Skip to the beat
Of the boy next door
She had her eye across the
street
On someone shy and tall
We lived our dreams
And challenged fate
In tears she told me she was
late
And Sally let his pigeons
out to fly...
On the dresser sits a frame
With a photograph
Two little girls in
ponytails
Some twenty one years back
She left one night with just
a nod
Was lost from some back
alley job
I close my eyes and Sally's
pigeons fly
She never saw those birds
again
And me, I can't remember
when
A pirate smile hasn't made
me cry
I close my eyes
And Sally's pigeons fly...
