Simon Joyner - Evening Song To Sally lyrics

I couldn't stand another second in your room staring At the easy gestures of your wrist spreading perfume sparingly Behind the ears and across the neck I once studied so carefully It had been too long It had been too long It had been too long since I had watched you move I had to cut out for some fresh air on the landing But I got nothing but the smell of rotten fruit rising up from the alley Suddenly I realized I wasn't young anymore and I was still hiding out from your daddy I had spent so long I had spent so long I had spent so long loving you My mother built her name on getting out of sorry situations My father bought a piece of land he didn't care to ever stray from And I was the very worst kind of cool combination I wanted to stay I wanted to stay I wanted to stay but I always go I don't know if I can go and drink with you on Saturday I've been dizzy inside this dirty window since that last time you walked away Well the cars and trucks bolt and fizzle like fireworks on the freeway But I wonder where they go I wonder where they go I wonder where they go to explode You and me I guess we were just born to be free Sally Well that's the kind of think you say when you lose your grip on something I pushed my way this far but now I don't know how to stop running And I can't stand still I can't stand still I can't stand still and follow you I don't mind losing everything that I lived for once The earth spins for seventy-five cents down at the local laundromat Well Chris says you've got to lose your head something to save your neck So Sally go on Sally go on Sally go on and that's just what I'll do
