Shuffling Sally

She moves like a storm broken loose

Tired feet in worn-out boots

Gravel road beneath her sway

Shuffling secrets night takes away

Sally don't cry she's got no tears

Laughs at the shadows feeding her fears

Broken glass on the floor she treads

Dreams are whispers stuck in her head

Shuffling Sally out in the night

Dancing alone under the pale street light

Barefoot truths the world won't see

Shuffling Sally ain't bound to be free

She drags her soul through choking dust

Painted lips hiding lost trust

To nowhere she's bound no one can tell

But her silence screams louder than a rebel bell

Stains on the dress she wears too tight

Memories fading under neon lights

Bag of hope too heavy to hold

But the fire inside refuses to get cold

She's got a rhythm the world can't steal

Scraping the earth with each silent heel

Shuffling Sally no plans no map

Yet her presence cuts like a thunderclap
