Sally (w/m Jim Proctor)
I’m reckless, you’re guarded
One feeds the other
If I said why bother
What would you say?
I’m aging, you’re almost young
Both feed our fears
No matter the years
What of today?
Sally, can we come a little closer?
We may find we’re much the same
Sally,we won’t have this chance forever
To run away would be such a shame.
I’m rainy, you’re sunny
A difference of weather
Mix them together,
Could be stormy indeed
I’m jaded, you’re half naive
Open and closed
But don’t you suppose
It’s just what we need?
Sally, can we see what we’re doing?
In and out, high and low
Sally, there’s a world and it’s waiting
Can you see? It’s waiting I know.
Sally, we’ve got all kinds of reasons
Tearful boy, fearful girl
Sally, can we leave it all behind us?
Can we meet in this beautiful world?
