Sally Was a Legend

Sally was a legend Sally was a legend in my heart Sally was a legend So we had to keep ourselves apart Push the dream towards me I can see a flower in the dark I can understand you I don't understand the sacred Heart Sally was a legend Sure as I can walk around this room And the truth is evil It's an evil truth to you-know-whom I can point to Norway I can point to Norway with my fist Sally was a legend Sure as there are veins beneath her wrist Why? Why? Even with her eyes shut She could see the faces on her lids She could see my crying That was long before I ever did And it's been a lifetime And with you I celebrate my life Sally was a legend Now she's at the table with a knife Sally was a legend Sally was a legend yeah Sally was a legend Sally was a legend yeah --- Sally Was a Legend - Robyn Hitchcock
