So Sally can wait, she knows it's too late as she's walking on by My soul slides away, but don't look back in anger I heard you say
So Sally can wait, she knows it's too late as we're walking on by Her soul slides away, but don't look back in anger I heard you say So Sally can wait, she knows it's too late as she's walking on by My soul slides away But don't look back in anger Don't look back in anger I heard you say At least not today
