Annie

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 '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 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 need 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 its 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 when I am reckless Just this once would you forgive this And 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, 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
