A short song about a very sad dog that I used to see every morning on my way to work.
After many weeks of seeing her on the same corner every morning I eventually found out what she was waiting for and it broke my heart.

Wonderful guitar from Stef :) you got me slipping on my old crusty and sentimental Rod Stewart jacket

“Sally’s Waiting”

Friday morning rushing
working for the man
shes on the sidewalk by the baker
every morning sad
staring vacant
not the life that she had planned
solitary waiting
with a heart thats slowly breaking


And you’ll find Sally on the corner
watch the world go by
waiting patiently for someone
but dont know the reason why
Feel the sadness in her eyes
as you walk on by
she wears a memory like aching scar
with faith she holds within her heart
as Sally greets another car
her hopes are raised
but not too far
Oh Sally

Sally’s waiting

Asked the baker if he knew what’s going on
“Thats old Sally, shes been waiting
for her owner whos passed on”
Every morning through to evening
sits there all day long
solitary waiting
with a patience thats not breaking

And you’ll find Sally on the corner
watch the world go by
waiting patiently for someone
now I know the reason why
I feel the sadness in her eyes
I can walk on by
she wears that memory like aching scar
with faith she holds within her heart
as Sally greets another car
her hopes are raised
but not too far
Oh Sally

Sally’s waiting
Sally’s waiting
Sally’s waiting
