Story Behind The Song

Dedicated to my sister.

Lyrics

Annie, for all the time I?ve known you
You?re a gentle soul wearin? fate?s cruel charm
Who sometimes cried for love to hold you
Just one man to keep you in his arms

Annie, you ran so many places
The lovers you have known have wrecked your heart
All the smoky bars and shadows? faces
Cold hands out to teach you of the dark

Annie, we?re worlds apart
But friends are souls who share one heart
Here?s my shoulder, go on, cry
And let the heartaches drift,
drift on by . . .

Annie, people talk, they never listen
They?re too busy handing out their bar room lies
They?ll never know the lady they?ve been missin?
As their bar room laughter drifts on by
