Sallie's Heart Is Stone - Say Hi

One for the lanterns,

Two for the bugs

Three for the punch at this summer ball

Four for the dance,

Five for the dusk

The things I must focus on instead of her

Six for the hum of cellos in C sharp

Playing waltzes for shuffling feet

Seven for the glare off every glassy thing

And eight for the scent of daises in the spring

But Sallie’s hard as stone

And the look she’s giving me

No kisses on the cheek

And I’ve nobody if she says no
