Vanessa Carlton - Annie LYRICS

Watch her as she flew deep within the blue
The 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 till 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 needed 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 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

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 and I am wreckless
Just this once, would you forgive this

And hold on to days gone by
Tell me now can you feel it
I can't keep this all to myself
She's eligant and she means it, oh

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
