Blame Sally - Bird In Hand lyrics

rate me

She was young and you were, too,

but your heart was cold and gray

A pretty lass, as clear as glass, a diamond for a day

You held her hand, the promised land,

her fears you did allay

Babe you had a bird in hand and in that hand she strayed

The sweetest words she'd ever heard,

they made her trip and sway

You took her down to the old red town

and had your wicked way

Morning came, nothing the same,

her feet had turned to clay

Babe you had a bird in hand and in that hand she lay

Time did pass, and she alas,

felt something that did weigh

A sad-eyed girl, your country pearl

had fallen, as they say

And when she cried, you turned aside,

you pushed her love away

Babe you had a bird in hand and in that hand she stayed

She was young and you were too,

but your heart was cold and gray

When the summer breeze turned to autumn leaves

you took yourself away

You never thought of her sad lot,

she faced a judgment day

Babe you had a bird in hand, a bird that hand betrayed

Years went by, (& all that implies)

And with age came dismay

Your thoughts transformed, your heart grew warm,

you changed your wicked ways

Remembered love, a simple dove,

your diamond in the hay

Babe you had a bird in hand, a hand you overplayed

You went down to the old red town,

the streets in dust now paved

Your pretty thing, a memory,

had long since slipped away

They said she died by the riverside

on a chilly autumn day

Babe you had a bird in hand but the bird has flown away<br />

<br />
