Watch her as she flew,
deep within the blue
A day out from the county ICU
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 to the moment,
and I hope that I don't blow it
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
You're so fine,
the way you stand up to your fears
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 than life and trying to survive Oh Annie,
my boyfriend took pictures of me
as I held you I travel alone and loneliness brings me to
tears Well, 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
I'd hold you,
you'd sing along to the song on the radio if I drank too much
And I am reckless,
just this once,
would you forgive this?
You and I,
oh Annie,
more than life and 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
