Ellis Paul - Annalee lyrics
rate me<br>Skipping stones at the edge of the dock <br>The fog comes rolling in quiet like a hawk <br>The river so smooth it could shatter with a rock <br>It felt like I was walking on water <br> <br>Then the doctors daughter came and dove right in <br>Lord Almighty she’s nothing but skin <br>I could turn my head but she may never come again <br>She’s filling the sky with her laughter <br> <br>[Chorus] <br>Anna Lee Anna Lee <br>You’re shaking the timbers your rattling the leaves <br>There’s a full moon rising in front of me <br>Come on stake your claim in my memory <br>Anna Lee Anna Lee <br>Did the good Lord send you down to deliver me? <br>Come stake your claim in my memory <br>I’m here and I’m yours for the taking <br> <br>Well along around midnight on a river boat ride <br>I’m a mandolin jukebox and Annie at my side <br>One bottle empty one waiting like a bride <br>She’s dancing like light on the water <br> <br>We’ve got six weeks ‘til college six weeks until we’re gone <br>Oh life is like a river and the river flowing on <br>Come on Annie your lips are like brandy (or you taste like brandy) <br>Will you kiss me awake come morning? <br> <br>[Chorus] <br>Anna Lee Anna Lee <br>You’re shaking the timbers your rattling the leaves <br>There’s a full moon rising in front of me <br>Come on stake your claim in my memory <br>Anna Lee Anna Lee <br>Did the good Lord send you down to deliver me? <br>Come lay your head in a bed of leaves <br>I’m here and I’m yours for the taking. <br> <br>[Bridge] <br>I can’t promise a life time of tomorrows <br>What tomorrow brings God only knows <br>I know this about tomorrow <br>They’re filling it with sorrow <br>If we let tonight just go <br> <br>Anna Lee Anna Lee <br>You’re shaking the timbers your rattling the leaves <br>There’s a full moon rising in front of me <br>Come on stake your claim in my memory <br>Anna Lee Anna Lee <br>Did the good Lord send you down to deliver me? <br>Come lay your head in a bed of leaves <br>I’m here and I’m yours for the taking. <br> <br>Anna Lee Anna Lee Anna Lee Anna Lee Anna Lee<br><!-- stopprint -->
