Cousin Sally from Louise by Ro Halfhide

Doing the rounds with my cousin Sally
Walking up and down every alley
She came over for a few hours
To watch the town

We hang over the Red Light District
Like some vultures on unusual business
I told Sally in a few months
This won't be around

chorus:
Time's movin' on
Time is moving on
And much too soon
She will be gone

Took a boat trip through the canal
Every place in English, made it sound like well
We had been defeated
In some long forgotten war

The Brewers and the Lords and the Emperors
Don't forget the seven bridges of the Regulars
I told Sally about Brooklyn
Why it's not so far

<chorus>

bridge:
I looked at Sally's face
And I saw her in mine
We seem so out of place
We must have missed a traffic sign
I know that we come from the same Halfhide
So if you please hand me your lifeline
Hand me your lifeline

We got back to the RLD
Sally and Vincent, Elfine and me
Walking up the Seadike
To look for a place to eat

The burned chickens in the windows tell
We must be passing through the gates of hell
Or we must be in China because
I can't read the name of the street

<chorus>

When your heart is said
And your eyes are blue
Don't even wonder why
You think of the time when I met you

When your heart is said
And your eyes are blue
Don't even bother trying
To say good times will tell on you
