Hall Pass movie - AnnaLee lyrics

rate me

Skipping stones at the edge of the dock

The fog comes rolling in quiet like a hawk

The river so smooth it could shatter with a rock

It felt like I was walking on water

Then the doctors daughter came and dove right in

Lord Almighty she’s nothing but skin

I could turn my head, but she may never come again

She’s filling the sky with her laughter

[Chorus]

Anna Lee, Anna Lee

You’re shaking the timbers, your rattling the leaves

There’s a full moon rising in front of me

Come on stake your claim in my memory

Anna Lee, Anna Lee

Did the good Lord send you down to deliver me?

Come stake your claim in my memory

I’m here and I’m yours for the taking

Well along around midnight on a river boat ride

I’m a mandolin jukebox and Annie at my side

One bottle empty, one waiting like a bride

She’s dancing like light on the water

We’ve got six weeks ‘til college, six weeks until we’re gone

Oh life is like a river and the river flowing on

Come on Annie, your lips are like brandy (or you taste like brandy)

Will you kiss me awake come morning?

[Chorus]

Anna Lee, Anna Lee

You’re shaking the timbers, your rattling the leaves

There’s a full moon rising in front of me

Come on stake your claim in my memory

Anna Lee, Anna Lee

Did the good Lord send you down to deliver me?

Come lay your head in a bed of leaves

I’m here and I’m yours for the taking.

[Bridge]

I can’t promise a life time of tomorrows

What tomorrow brings God only knows

I know this about tomorrow

They’re filling it with sorrow

If we let tonight just go

Anna Lee, Anna Lee

You’re shaking the timbers, your rattling the leaves

There’s a full moon rising in front of me

Come on stake your claim in my memory

Anna Lee, Anna Lee

Did the good Lord send you down to deliver me?

Come lay your head in a bed of leaves

I’m here and I’m yours for the taking.

Anna Lee, Anna Lee, Anna Lee, Anna Lee, Anna Lee
