Annie
Watch her as she flew deep within the blueA day out from the county I.C.U.There's nothing you can doSomeone gently says to youThe doctor says that now it won't be long
I try and live up til' the momentAnd I hope that I don't blow itAnd what is it in me that she hears?It's just a song she likesHer little arms around my neckAnd a dyin' girl whispers in my ear
Tell me now, can you feel it?I've been keeping company with a ghostShe comes to me like a piece of summerShe comes to me on the days when I need it most
Well summer dies and nothing lasts foreverAnd you're so fine, the way you stand up to your fearsThe summer dies and it's just moments we have togetherI'd give my bones for you to get a few more yearsFor you and I, oh AnnieMore than life than tryin' to survive, oh Annie
My boyfriend took pictures of me as I held youI travel alone and the loneliness brings me to tearsThe summer dies and it's just moments we have togetherI'd give my bones for you to get a few more yearsFor you and I, oh AnnieMore to life than tryin' to survive, oh Annie
Stronger than the hands that hold youYou sing along to the song on the radioIf I drank too much when I am recklessJust this once would you forgive this
And hold on, the days gone byTell me now can you feel it?I can't keep this all to myselfShe's elegant and she means it, no
Years for you and I, oh AnnieMore to life than tryin' to survive, oh AnnieWatch her as she flew deep within the blueWatch her as she slips away from youI'll keep fingers crossed always for you
