Lyrics Robyn Hitchcock

Robyn Hitchcock

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
