Sally Ann - Rufus Wainwright

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
