Watch her as she flew, deep within the blue
A day out from the county I.C.U.
There is nothing you can do

Someone gently says to you
The doctors say that now it won't be long
I try and live up til 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

And you're so fine girl, the way you stand up to your fears
Summer dies and its 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 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
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
I hold on to the days gone by


Tell me now can you feel it?
I can't keep this all to myself

She's elegant 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
