Cyndi Lauper performs “Sally's Pigeons Redux 2022” with Alex Nolan and Steve Gaboury. Recorded by Brendan McGeehan. The special performance was part of the presentation of the 65th Annual GRAMMY Award nominees on Tues, Nov. 15, 2022.

“The release of ‘Sally’s Pigeons’ more relevant than ever. In my childhood, women didn't have reproductive freedom and 50 years later we find ourselves in a time warp where one’s freedom to control their own body has been stripped away. When I wrote this song with Mary Chapin Carpenter in 1991, we wrote about two little girls who dreamt of stretching their wings like the pigeons they watched that flew above them. They dreamt of being free. But freedom then for women and unfortunately now comes at a big price. If we don’t have control over our own bodies, then we have no real freedom. We are second class citizens. We need to mobilize. We need to let our voices be heard.”

Lyrics
When I was eight, I had a friend
With a pirate smile
Make believe and play pretend
We were innocent and wild
Hopped a fence and slammed the gate
Running down my alleyway
In time to watch Sally's pigeons fly

We loved to watch them dive and soar
Circle in the sky
Free as a bird from three to four
And never knowing why
Neighbors pulled their wash back in
Put away my Barbie and Ken
Look out overhead
While Sally's pigeons fly

I had a fool's confidence
That the world had no boundaries
But instincts and common sense
Come in different quantities

My heart began to skip to the beat
Of the boy next door
She had her eye across the street
On someone shy and tall
We lived our dreams
And challenged fate
In tears she told me she was late
And Sally let his pigeons out to fly

On the dresser sits a frame
With a photograph
Two little girls in ponytails

Some fifty-one years back

She left one night with just a nod
Was lost from some back-alley job
I close my eyes and Sally's pigeons fly
She never saw those birds again
And me, I can't remember when
A pirate smile hasn't made me cry
I close my eyes
And Sally's pigeons fly

Co-written by Mary Chapin Carpenter

I love this song!!!! Used to listen to it non stopping when the cd came out. The only concert I could attend was in 1994 when she came to Brazil to launch her Twelve Deadky Cyns... Who else from Brazil attend this concert? I remember met someone people from a fan club at the time. I wonder where these people are....
