story of sally

sally came here that day
you talked for a while and she started to cry again
well all of us are soaked in different sorts of pain

sally's life was not bad
she lived in a nice flat
she's supposed to be glad
to everybody she was not qualified to be sad

take that
maybe it's hard to understand
but when she said she's sad
all she's looking for was just a helping hand

it's true
sometimes life could be very cruel
sometimes the sky is grey
sometimes it is black
sometimes it is very blue

sally phoned you that night
you talked for a while and you started to wonder again
why she just had to lock herself in chains

you said to her
"sadness is just malign
relax, close your eyes
got to go
let's talk next time
stop moaning too much and you will be fine you will be fine"

it's fine
so now she's wasting all your time
you thought she's telling lies
when she called her friends and told them all it's goodbye

oh gent
there was a hole that you did not mend
that's how a life was rent
how you lost just one friend
how she lost more than a friend

oh dear
couldn't you see her tears and fears
and when she said she's sad
all she needed from you was just an open ear

oh gent
that little hole turned into laments
oh how a life was misspent
how you lost just one friend
how she lost all of her friends

how you lost a friend
how her tears came to an end
