Lyrics
Little Sally
Written by: Karin Page
See the flowers on the roadside on this golden Winters day
Little Sally asks her mother what the white crosses all say
Oh but mother is lost inside her thoughts somewhere
Looking back on all the years they shared without a single care
He was all but seventeen that day with shiny jet black hair
Oh but now he lives inside their memories
What will she tell her daughter, how will she find the words
To tell her little sally, the cross is her brother’s
Little Sally wakes to hear the birds all sing their morning song
Whilst her mother wakes up nurturing a heart that weighs a tonne
He is gone, he is gone, he ain’t never coming back
Are the words that fill her haunted soul that she don't understand
What will she tell her daughter, how will she find the words
To tell her little Sally, she once had a brother
Little Sally ain’t so small no more the questions they arise
Who's that boy in all the photographs with gleaming hazel eyes
Mother cries, mother cries, he ain’t never coming back
Little Sally see's her mothers tears and tries to understand
So now she tells her daughter, sorry I hid those words
My darling little Sally, the boy is your brother
Now sally turns to mother, oh mummy please don't cry
I can make you feel much better, Ill sing your favorite lullaby
