Sally, things close early
It's a holiday they tell me
How long have you lived here?
Have you seen the river?
Do you know the proper way to ask for a cigarette?
I'm asking before winter comes
Stay here with me til morning
With the three-man orchestra playing
I ask a fortune teller
What they whisper when I walk by
Do you know the proper way to ask for a cigarette?
I'm asking before winter comes
She said
All the people run from the horizon
Staying late, waking late, on the horizon
All the people run from the horizon
