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
