<b>sweet Anna Lee</b> by <i>Bruno Deneckere</i><br />I'll get to the point

I'm goin' home

I'll take my leave

As soon as the eve falls

But don't you worry

I'll take nothing you need

You can keep my shoes

You can have my hat

And all my books

That you never read

But I won't give you

The comin' years of my life

Sweet Anna Lee

Didn't you notice by now

We used to be

So much closer than we're now

All of the king's horses

And all of his men

Why do you want them

To go to work again

But I wont stand here

And watch other men fail

I am certain

All's been said

The draw of the curtain

The rush to the coat-racks

No looks over the shoulder

As soon as I close the door behind you

Sweet Anna Lee

Didn't you notice by now

We used to be

So much closer than we're now
