Asetha Power: Music
Sally Never Cries
(Asetha Power)
Sally Never Cries
I. Sally’s children play with clothes on the line
Their lives are not simple when tears fill their eyes
Mommy’s hurtin’
Daddy’s cold as beer
His best friend is misery and God’s his fear
Chorus:
Sally never cries
Her babies have his eyes
They’re the riches she’s deserving of
They’re all she’ll ever need of love
Sally never cries
II. Sally Suckers in her puckered mouth
Her gifts from Jesus are sleeping sound
She eases her bones
In the bathwater’s heat
Remembers her mother sayin’ leave things be
Bridge:
Someday when he comes through the door
His steak won’t be ready and warm
Her girls won’t be what she’s become
Her boy won't be hurtin' no one
