Sally Jane

Swooping swallows Helmets on Don't forget to run Finger painting caterpillars Shading from the sun Too many grown ups Killing all the fun Run into the backyard woods Never to be found All my life I have known Sally Jane Sally Jane Sally Jane don't go Everyday we went school I longed for frolicking with her Sunday mornings fled the church Lest you found yourself a bended knee All my life I have known Sally Jane Sally Jane Sally Jane don't go Summers passed And I, I withdrew You were too cool Cool for me I left home and you stayed put The woods onlooked The birds still swooped The grown ups remained none the wiser Swooping swallows Helmets on Don't forget to run Finger painting caterpillars Shading from the sun Too many grown ups Killing all the fun Run into the backyard woods Never to be found All my life I have known Sally Jane Sally Jane Sally Jane don't go
