Lyrics
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.
Watch her as she flew, deep within the blue.
A day out from the county I.C.U.
There's nothing you can do, someone gently says to you
The doctor says that now it won't be long.
I try and live up to the moment, and i hope that i don't blow it.
What is it in me that she hears?
There's just a song she likes, little arms around my neck.
And a dying girl whispers in my ear.
Tell me now, can you feel it?
I've been keeping company with a ghost
She comes to me, like a piece of summer.
She comes to me on days when i needed it most.
Well summer dies, and nothing lasts forever.
You're so fine, the way you stand up to your fears.
Summer dies, and it's just moments we have together.
I'd 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.
My boyfriend took pictures of me as i held you.
I travel alone, and the loneliness brings me to tears.
Summer dies, and it's just moments we have together.
I'd 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, and i am wreckless.
Just this once, could you forgive this?
I hold on to days gone by.
Tell me now, can you feel it?
I can't keep this all to myself.
She's elegant, and 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 slips away from you.
I'll keep fingers crossed always for you.
