Sally Left

Sleep in the grass

Let the silence embrace me

Sally is waving good-bye

Time took her in, with his loveless desire

Sang her a sweet lullaby

Frail as a ghost

She was fading so slowly

I knew she was leaving me soon

Then with a smile and a whisper she kissed me

""Claire, I will come for you soon""

We heard the tolling of bells in the distance,

I begged for her not to stray

But in the morning this house was half empty,

she found her bed in the grass

Mornings are pale

And the sea-side deserted

Summer has left me behind

I hope that Sally will know where to find me

If she comes looking for me

I hear her whispers through radio static,

I see her face in the clouds

And in the morning this house will be empty

Make me a bed in the grass"
