Clothes with a Story

Used clothes that were loved before
Show up on a rack
Waiting for adoption
No one wants them back

Two dollars for a T-shirt
Three for a pair of jeans
Treasured by a stranger
With diminished means

Value Village, Sally Anne
Never made it to a garbage can
She wears clothes with a story

Said goodbye then slammed the door
She’s never coming back
Cleaned out her closet
Half a wardrobe and a hat

Gave them to the lady
That works for Sally Anne
Now I look for women in your clothes
Wherever I am

Value Village, Sally Anne
Never made it to a garbage can
She wears clothes with a story

Jeans and dresses, pants and tops
She buys them one by one
Puts them in her closet
Another story has begun

Sometimes when she puts them on
She wonders where they’ve been
Sometimes I wonder
If I’ll see her again

Value Village, Sally Anne
Never made it to a garbage can
She wears clothes with a story
