Sally Ann — текст песни (Rufus Wainwright)

My true love did breathe by the Sally Ann
just barely
That while walkin` through the 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
