Annain a foreign blue
|
yesterday I saw someone
|
who reminded me of you
|
and Ibr>
|
held my breath and called your name
|
and though I knew it was not you
|
I followed just the samebr>
|
I wanted to raise the glass
|
to a symphony of miles
|
and say our last farewell
|
to yesterday's child
|
|
Annasweep the doorway clean
|
Let's forgive before we blame
|
and Ibr>
|
will make my own amends
|
with the dust and sin
|
underneath my skin
|
and on my maiden name
|
|
So let's raise the glass
|
to a symphony of miles
|
and say our last farewell
|
to yesterday's child
|
|
Annain my dreams
|
I open my arms and I'm flying
|
let's do some living
|
forget about the dyingbr>
|
|
AnnaI've done my thousand days
|
now I'm walking free in time
|
and Istill have my imaginings
|
where there's no strugglingbr>
|
or suffering
|
just cigarettes and winebr>
|
|
So let's raise the glass
|
to a symphony of miles
|
and say our last farewell
|
to yesterday's child
|
