SALLY'S PIGEONS／Cyndi Lauper 歌詞

歌：Cyndi Lauper

作詞：CARPENTER MARY CHAPIN

作曲：LAUPER CYNDI

When I was eight
I had a friend
with a pirate smile
make believe
and play pretend
we were
innocent and wild
hopped a fence and
slammed the gate
running down my alleyway
in time to watch
Sally's pigeons fly
We loved to watch
them dive and soar
circle in the sky
free as a bird
from three to four
and never knowing why
neighbors pulled
their wash back in
put away
my Barbie and Ken
look out overhead
while Sally's pigeons fly
I had a
fool's confidence that the
world had no boundaries
but instincts and
common sense come in
different quantities
my heart began to
skip to the beat
of the boy next door
she had her
eye across the street
on someone shy and tall
we lived our dreams
and challenged fate
in tears she told me
she was late
and Sally let his
pigeons out to fly...

On the dresser
sits a frame
with a photograph
two little girls
in ponytails
some twenty one
years back
she left one night
with just a nod
was lost from some
back alley job
I close my eyes
and Sally's pigeons fly
she never saw
those birds again
and me, I can't
remember when
a pirate smile
hasn't made me cry
I close my eyes
and Sally's
pigeons fly...
