Eli Waltz | "Sally Jane" (Official Lyric Video)
When my wife was growing up, birds that nested in her backyard frequently attacked her and her family and neighbors. Whenever she went outside to play with her next door neighbor, Sally, they wore helmets. Years later, she told me this hilarious and tragic story - and a song was born.

LYRICS
Swooping swallows
Helmets on
Don’t forget to run
Finger painting caterpillars
Shading from the sun
Too many grown ups
Killing all the fun
Run into the backyard woods
Never to be found
All my life I have known
Sally Jane
Sally Jane
Sally Jane don’t go
Everyday we went school
I longed for frolicking with her
Sunday mornings fled the church
Lest you found yourself a bended knee
All my life I have known
Sally Jane
Sally Jane
Sally Jane don’t go
Summers passed
And I, I withdrew
You were too cool
Cool for me
I left home and you stayed put
The woods onlooked
The birds still swooped
The grown ups remained none the wiser
Swooping swallows
Helmets on
Don’t forget to run
Finger painting caterpillars
Shading from the sun
Too many grown ups
Killing all the fun
Run into the backyard woods
Never to be found
All my life I have known
Sally Jane
Sally Jane
Sally Jane don’t go
