Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
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 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...
