Song information

Artist: Rufus Wainwright

Lyrics

My true love did breathe, by the sally ann
So softly
That while walkin' through town only my heart
Did hear him
In views of the city
There ain't many folks, by the
Sally ann so pretty
That while walkin' through town
Many a twisted feature
Made a terrible beauty, beauty
And then I knew
And then I knew, I'd been there before

One thing you must know, by the
Sally ann directly
Is that the pockets
Don't hold any more sunken treasures
After baptism by whiskey

But when leavin' the bar, by the sally ann
Just barely
The old angel may allow light from above
The mountain
And red brick walls blooming, you may see

And then, you'll know
And then, you'll know, you've been there before

And then, you'll know
And then you'll know, you've been there before
