SALLY’S PIGEONS Lyrics – Cyndi Lauper

SALLY’S PIGEONS Lyrics by Cyndi Lauper

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…

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 have 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

HASN’T MADE ME CRY
