Lyrics
Sidewalk Annie
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
She told you about it through a broken bleeding windpipe
It shook your bones and made your life feel skintight
Well, Sidewalk Annie
Now your coattails have come undone
Your whisper's a scream now
Since you don't speak to anyone
The howlin' winds could never care what she liked
Rhythm and Blues or A Stranger In The Night
It tore up the trailer with the sounds of a howlin' wolf
The cellar was stone, even the garden was bulletproof
Well, Sidewalk Annie
Now your coattails have come undone
Your whisper's a scream now
Since you don't speak to anyone
Little girl in your white ice skates
We've seen your face walkin' around the old school gates
With a hand on your hip and the other one on your head
You realized it wasn't gone, but lost instead
Sidewalk Annie
Now your coattails have come undone
Your whisper's a scream now
Since you don't speak to anyone
Invested a nickel into the banks of a wishing well
And blew out the candles and hoped for somethin' that she
could, she could sell
Sidewalk Annie
Now your coattails have come undone
Your whisper's a scream now
Since you don't speak to anyone
