Rufus Wainwright - Sally Ann lyrics

My true love did breathe by the sally ann so softly

That while walking through town

Only my heart did hear him

In views of the city

There ain't many folks by the sally an so pretty

That while walking through town

Many a twisted feature made a terrible beauty

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 treasure

After baptism by whiskey

But when leaving the bar by the sally ann just barely

That old angel may allow light from above the mountain

And red brick walls blooming, you might see

And then you'll know

You've been there before
