Wainwright Rufus - SALLYANN Lyrics

My true love did breathe by the Sally Ann just barely
That while walkin' through town only my heart did hear him
In views of the city
There ain't many folks by the Sally Ann so pretty
That while walkin' through town, many a twisted features
Made a terrible beauty
And then I knew
And then I knew, I'd been there before
One thing you must know by the Sally Ann directly
Is that the pockets don't hold any more sunken treasures
After baptism by whiskey
But when leavin' the bar by the Sally Ann just barely
The old angel may allow light from above the mountain
And red brick walls blooming, you may see
And then you'll know
And then you'll know, you've been there before
