|
The lone woman stands in the turning |
|
DecemberShe's got ice on her lashes, white at her winter coat |
|
The trees stand like soldiers around her |
|
Dutiful wooden curse and the heart she feared frozen |
|
Still beats and still marches on |
|
Oh, AnnieI will think of you each time |
|
I see the sun |
|
Didn't want a day without you |
|
But somehow |
|
I've lived through another one |
|
A gentlemen waits on a platform in a haze of gray and grief |
|
Now he's sold up his assets, starting over at seventy |
|
The steam blasts like trumpets around him |
|
Salutes on the colonnade as he thinks to himself"We're all waiting for our train to come" |
|
Oh, AnnieI will think of you each time |
|
I see the sun |
|
Didn't want a year without you |
|
But somehow |
|
I've lived through another one |
|
Did you find it hard to breathe at first? |
|
Were you wounded and in disbelief at how much it hurt? |
|
Now the ache's still burning, but the world's still turning |
|
Isn't it?Oh, |
|
AnnieI still think of you each time |
|
I see the sun |
|
Didn't want a life without you |
|
But here I am living one |
