Oh, my Sally's done gone And it's all my fault Oh, my Sally's done gone I never listened to a word she said Oh, the purple hills Seem to call out her name Like the whippoorwill I didn't listen to the warning she gave I know there's no turning back I know there's no turning back Oh, she tried to share All her worries with me But I was bowed down with care I didn't see the trap I was in I know there's no turning back I know there's no turning back Oh, one look in her eyes Full of knowledge and pain Oh, my pack of lies Melted fast as my alibis I know there's no turning back I know there's no turning back And one day I'll be like a bird in flight Floating over this valley so wide And one day I'll be like a bird in flight Floating over this desert so wide And one day I'll be like a bird in flight
