Annie

Watch her as she flew deep within the blue
The day out from the county I see you

Theres nothing you can do
Someone gently says to you
The doctor says that now it wont be long

I try and live up til the moment and I hope that I dont blow it
And what is it in me that she hears?

Its just a song she likes
Her little arms around my neck
And a dying girl whispers in my ear

Tell me now can you feel it?

Ive been keeping company with those

She comes to me like a piece of summer

She comes to me on the days when I need it most

Well summer dies and nothing lasts forever

And youre so fine the way you stand up to your fears

The summer dies and its just moments we have together

Id give my bones for you to get a few more years
For you and me oh Annie

More than life than trying to survive oh Annie

My boyfriend took pictures of me as I held you

I travel alone and the loneliness brings me to tears

The summer dies and its just moments we have together

Id give my bones for you to get a few more years
For you and I oh Annie

More to life than trying to survive oh Annie
Stronger than the hands that hold you
You sing along to the song on the radio
If I drank too much when I am with this
Just this once would you forgive this
And hold on the days gone by

Tell me now can you feel it?

I cant keep this all to myself

Shes elegantand she means it no

Years for you and I oh Annie

More to life than trying to survive oh Annie
Watch her as she flew deep within the blue

Watch her as she sips away from you

Ill keep fingers crossed always for you
