Sally

[Verse 1]
My neighbor Sally
Never opens her door
She says she's waiting for
The world to stop it's war
[Verse 2]
My neighbor Sally
Always keeps it locked
She says she's waiting for, well
Waiting for a lot
[Chorus 1]
She's waiting for the sun to stop it's burning
And the world, for it to stop spinning
The hate, the hunger, the loss and haste
The terror, and evil, and crying
And all those people
She wants silence
Pretty, pretty silence
But it ain't coming
[Verse 3]
My neighbor Sally
Never opens her door
She says she's waiting for
Her love to knock once more
[Verse 4]
My neighbor Sally
Never answers my knock
She says she's waiting for, well
Waiting for a lot
[Chorus 2]
She's waiting for the glaciers to stop their melting
And all the kids to stop their dying
She feels the pain, the envy, the struggle, the tension
The lonely and homely and it's all the reasons
She wants silence
Pretty, pretty silence
But it ain't coming
{Bridge]
One day Sally's house burnt down to flames
Her haven melted and burned to dust and wooden frames
But my neighbor Sally
Came running out of her door
She took a breath and
Couldn't wait for more
She didn't want silence
[Chorus]
She felt the love, the laughter, the warmth and beauty
The greatness, and numbers, and comfort, and family
The people, they're shining, the stars, the same
The beauty of striving and thriving, contriving and even dying
[Outro]
My neighbor Sally
Never goes inside
She says she's waiting for
What is she waiting for?
Oh
