Sometimes I like awake and wander in a dream
And wonder how my life with her
Could have been

She was just an open book
With travel on her mind

I promised her a life she didn't know
If she would go

We ran away from memories of pain

Danced across the world
Hoping for a love that never came

So let's turn around and see
That the future is in you and me

It's all in our minds
As long as we find the time
And we'll throw away the past
For a feeling that we hope will last
I thought we could try

How could I believe in a bigger lie

Annie did you have to run away
Did you believe that there was nothing left to say
You made a prisoner of me and then you set me free
Turned every moment to a sea of gray
I'm living in a world of yesterday
'Cause there's a part of me that needs to hide away
From all the tragedy I see staring back at me
Whenever love begins to look my way

And so I go on wasting summer in the cold
While all about me April leaves are growing old

I sat amid an empty room
Awash in fantasy

With visions of an angel
Moving slowly out to sea

I called across the waves but she was gone

Soaring on the wind
Clinging to a dream to meet the dawn
So it's time to rearrange
And get used to what I haven't got

As long as I know

It's better to love than not
I may find it all again
And get caught up in a new surprise
The future is here

Then I fall apart as I realize

Annie did you have to run away
Did you believe that there was nothing left to say
You made a prisoner of me and then you set me free
Turned every moment to a sea of gray
I'm living in a world of yesterday

'Cause there's a part of me that needs to hide away
From all the tragedy I see staring back at me
Whenever love begins to look my way

Annie did you have to run away
Did you believe that there was nothing left to say
You made a prisoner of me and then you set me free
Turned every moment to a sea of gray
I'm living in a world of yesterday

'Cause there's a part of me that needs to hide away
From all the tragedy I see staring back at me
Whenever love begins to look my way

Another chapter ends and autumn reappears

As glistening wishes fade away through the years

And darling if you fall in love another day

Don't give the best of you away...
