Annalee Lyrics - The Day After Everything Changed - Ellis Paul

I'm skipping stones 

at the edge of the dock 

A fog came rolling in, 

quiet like a hawk 

The river's so smooth, 

it could shatter with a rock 

It felt like I was walking on water 

Then the doctor's daughter 

came and dove right in 

Lord Almighty, 

She's in nothing but skin 

I could turn my head 

but she may never come again 

She's filling the sky 

with her laughter 

(Chorus) 

Annalee 

Annalee 

You're shaking the timbers 

You're rattling the leaves 

theres a full moon rising 

in front of me 

come and stake your claim in my memory 

Annalee 

Annalee 

Did the good Lord send you 

down to deliver me 

Come lay your head in a bed of leaves 

I am here, I am yours for the taking 

Well, around about midnight 

on a riverboat ride 

I'm a mandolin jukebox 

and Annie's at my side 

One bottle empty, 

one waiting like a bride 

She's dancing like light on the water 

We've got six weeks till college 

Six weeks and then we're gone 

Oh, life is like a river 

And the river's rolling on 

So come on, Annie 

you taste like brandy 

will you kiss me awake come morning? 

I can't promise a lifetime of tomorrows 

What tomorrow brings God only knows 

I know this about tomorrow 

We're filling it with sorrow 

if we let tonight just end
