1
Outside the house Mr. Simpson announced
2
That Sally couldn't go to the meeting
3
He went on cleaning his blue Rolls Royce
4
And she ran inside weeping
5
She got to her room, and tears splashed the picture
6
Of the new Messiah
7
She picked up the book of her father's life
8
And threw it on the fire
9
[Chorus]
10
She knew from the start
11
Deep down in her heart
12
That she and Tommy were worlds apart
13
But her mother said, "Never mind, your part
14
Is to be what you'll be."
15
The theme of the sermon was 'Come unto me,
16
Love will find a way',
17
So Sally decided to ignore her dad
18
And sneak out anyway
19
She spent all afternoon getting ready
20
And decided she'd try to touch him
21
Maybe he'd see that she was free
22
And talk to her this Sunday
23
[Chorus]
24
She arrived at six, and the place was swinging
25
To gospel music by nine
26
Group after group appeared on the stage
27
And Sally just sat there crying
28
She bit her nails, looking pretty as a picture
29
Right in the very front row
30
And then a DJ wearing a blazer with a badge
31
Ran on and said, "Here we go!"
32
The crowd went crazy
33
As Tommy hit the stage
34
Little Sally got lost as the police bossed
35
The crowd back in a rage
36
But soon the atmosphere was cooler
37
As Tommy gave a lesson
38
Sally just had to let him know she loved him
39
And leapt up on the rostrum
40
She ran cross stage to the spotlit figure
41
And touched him on the face
42
Tommy whirled around as a uniformed man
43
Threw her off the stage
44
[Chorus]
45
Her cheek hit a chair and blood trickled down
46
Mingling with her tears
47
Tommy carried on preaching
48
And his voice filled Sally's ears
49
She caught his eye, she had to try
50
But couldn't see through their lights
51
Her face was gashed, and the ambulance men
52
Had to carry her out that night
53
The crowd went crazy
54
As Tommy left the stage
55
Little Sally was lost for the price of a touch
56
And a gash across her face, oh
57
Sixteen stitches put her right, and her dad said
58
"Don't say I didn't warn you."
59
Sally got married to a rock musician
60
She met in California
61
Tommy always talks about the day
62
The disciples all went wild
63
Sally still carries a scar on her cheek
64
To remind her of his smile
65
[Chorus]
