Vanessa Carlton Lyrics

Album: Harmonium

Annie Lyrics

Watch her as she flew deep within the blue

 The day out from the county I see you

 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

 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 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 me, oh Annie

 More than 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 with this

 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 sips away from you

 I'll keep fingers crossed always for you
