Paddy Wren was a Midlands girl She stood her ground in the working world Pushing hard with no time to play See Eddie working for it day by day She soon got tired of the waiting game Yet days are waste if they're all the same She just let go of her yesterday And moved along into the day by day Day by day she wears away the snow Behind which Annie lies dreaming Day by day she gets closer to home And one day Annie goes free Annie cried as her bridge is burned It takes so long for the time to turn She said goodbye and she turned away And moved along into the day by day Day by day she wears away the snow Behind which Annie lies dreaming Day by day she gets closer to home And one day Annie goes And one day Annie goes And Annie goes free She made a wish and she made a start And drew a thorn from a young man's heart And though love might seem so far away She knows it grows in you day by day Now Annie Wren is a brand new girl She found her place in the living world No more dreaming of yesterday With love that springs in her day by day Day by day she wears away the snow Behind which Annie lies dreaming Day by day she gets closer to home And one day Annie goes And one day Annie goes And one day Annie goes And Annie goes free
