Annie Lyrics

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 longI try and live up til' 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 dyin' girl whispers in my earTell 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 need it mostWell 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 than life than tryin' to survive, oh AnnieMy 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 tryin' to survive, oh AnnieStronger than the hands that hold you
You sing along to the song on the radio
If I drank too much when I am wreckless
Just this once would you forgive thisAnd hold on, the 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, noYears for you and I, oh Annie
More to life than tryin' 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
