Stepping into the heavy rain
I’m trapped in the silence of no path
In your eyes I see a house
A distant deep dawn
Wind all this way, wind all that way
Blowing over your shoulder
Before you turn around the abyss cracks beneath your feet
Those crazy raindrops
Snuffed my flame
You finally disappeared,
A butterfly stopped, amidst the debris on the floor
It was early spring Cherry blossoms were bloomin’ And the sun settin’ low in the palmetto sky Sally Ann took the hand Of Sir William Lewis And fell in love as they danced to The South Carolina Waltz VERSE He was a sailor Who came from South Hampton From a ship building family, though we never pried Sally Ann had her man, Sir William Lewis And they danced and they swayed to the South Carolina Waltz CHORUS We always knew That it was forever Like the dawn of the rest of their lives From that night on, they were always together Side By Side
VERSE It was late in the fall When winter came callin’ And the sun sinkin’ low in the palmetto sky Sally Ann took the hand of sir William Lewis And they sailed off together for a late sunset ride But the autumn winds can be unforgiving And from out of nowhere their boat capsized And Sally Ann grabbed the hand of Sir William Lewis And we found them together on the shore where they died Short Instrumental break Now it’s early spring Cherry blossoms are bloomin’ And the sun settin’ low in the palmetto sky Sally Ann and her man Are restin’ in peace While the wind sings and dances to The South Carolina Waltz The South Carolina Waltz
