Annie

Watch her as she flew deep within the blue

The 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 till the moment

And I hope that I don't blow it

And what is it in me that she hears

It's 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

I've been keeping company with a ghost

She comes to me like a piece of summer

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



Well summer dies and nothing lasts forever

And you're so fine, the way you stand up to your fears

The 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

The 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, would you forgive this



And hold on to days gone by

Tell me now can you feel it

I can't keep this all to myself

She's eligant and she means it, oh



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
