Saint Sally

I gave up false wishes and bitter pursuits

The bar of Sylvain, the night I met you

Hopeless and strung out, my back was to the wall

And I couldn't hear fortune call

Hold on Saint Sally I'm down by your door

I'm down in the alley, howling once more

And I'd like to think, we paid for our sins

We don't have to sleep on the floor

That's why I'm hoping and dreaming

You'll open your back door again

The hand you were holding was a hand you'd have won

But you always felt cold in the warm delta sun

You took all your vegetables up by their roots

Said someday we'll taste the same fruits

Hold on Saint Sally I'm down by your door

I'm down in the alley, howling once more

And I'd like to think, we paid for our sins

We don't have to sleep on the floor

That's why I'm hoping and dreaming

You'll open your back door again

Hold on Saint Sally I'm down by your door

I'm down in the alley, howling once more

And I'd like to think, we paid for our sins

We don't have to sleep on the floor oh no

That's why I'm hoping and dreaming

You'll open your back door again
