Sally

JONATHA'S NOTE:

I got married and started working on "Back in the Circus" right around the time my friend Sally was having her second baby. We get together whenever I'm in LA and there are these moments of longing I think on both of our parts where we see each other's lives and wonder, what if?
LYRICS: Sally I still have the green skirt you gave me
And Sally I still do believe you could save me
'Cause I wander around and the world is so strange
I'm here on the ground and all of my dreams just fly away

Sally it's only September
But Sally we've both come a lifetime since May
And it's lines and it's rhymes that I can remember
But I always forget what I wanted to say

'Cause everything's changed, deep in my heart
Love's rearranged, where do I start, where do I start??

I will, I can, I do, again
I will, I can, I do, again

Sally you'll have another sweet baby
Sally I'll write another ten songs
And we'll keep looking back at the paths we've not taken
Both of us still wondering where we belong

'Cause everything's changed and so we start
Love comes again, and there go our hearts, there go our hearts

I will, I can, I do, again
I will, I can, I do, again
I will, I can, I do, again

Sally I still have the green skirt you gave me
And Sally I still do believe you could save me.
