Annie Songtext
von Alan Tam

Sometimes I lie awake and wander in a dream
And wonder how my life with her could have been
She was just an open book with trouble on her mind
I promised her life, she didn′t know if she would go
We went away from memories of pain
Danced across the world
Hoping for a love that never came

So let's turn around and see that the future isn′t you and me
It's all in our minds
As long as we find the time
And we'll throw away the past for a feeling that we hope will last
I thought we could try
How can I believe in a bigger lie?


Annie, did you have to run away?
Did you believe that there was nothing left to say?
You made a prisoner of me and then you set me free
Turned every moment to a sea of gray
I′m living in a world of yesterday
′Cause there's a part of me that needs to hide away
From all the tragedy I see staring back at me
Whenever love begins to look my way

And so I go on wasting summer in the cold
But all about me April leaves are growing old
I sat amid an empty room awash in fantasy
With visions of an angel moving slowly out to sea
I called across the waves but she was gone
Soaring on the wind
Fled into a dream to meet the dawn

So it′s time to rearrange, get used to all I haven't got
As long as I know
It′s better to love than not
I may find it all again and get caught up in a new surprise
The future is here
Then I fall apart as I realize


Annie, did you have to run away?
Did you believe that there was nothing left to say?
You made a prisoner of me and then you set me free
Turned every moment to a sea of gray
I'm living in a world of yesterday
′Cause there's a part of me that needs to hide away
From all the tragedy I see staring back at me
Whenever love begins to look my way

Annie, did you have to run away?
Did you believe that there was nothing left to say?
You made a prisoner of me and then you set me free
Turned every moment to a sea of gray

I'm living in a world of yesterday
′Cause there′s a part of me that needs to hide away
From all the tragedy I see staring back at me
Whenever love begins to look my way

Another chapter ends and autumn reappears
As christening wishes fade away through the years
And darling, if you fall in love another day
Don't give the best of you away
