Lyrics
Anna Lee - by Thomas Burns + Eric Hester
Those early days of autumn, when we were on the run,
we found satisfaction in the wind
It wasn't what we made off with, or what they say I've done,
but how you left swinging in the end
Chorus:
Anna Lee - Anna Lie - and say you've change your mind -
The only thing you left me with was time
How many nights I've laid here in this bed we made dear
Anna Lee I don't want to say goodnight
I look up at the moon tonight that's looking down on you
and wonder if you think of me at all
I think about that time we counted every star we knew,
like I count down the days on these gray walls
Chorus:
Anna Lee - Anna Lie - and say you've change your mind -
The only thing you left me with was time
How many nights I've laid here in this bed we made dear
Anna Lee I don't want to say goodnight
They tell me come tomorrow it's my day in the sun,
there's one more wish for you I'd like to send
A keepsake to remind you of everything we've done,
I hope you hear it whisper on the wind
Chorus:
Anna Lee - Anna Lie - and say you've change your mind -
The only thing you left me with was time
How many nights I've laid here in this bed we made dear
Anna Lee I don't want to say goodnight
Anna Lee I don't want to say goodnight
