When Annie Took Me Home Lyrics - Live At Mccabe's Guitar Shop - Tom Paxton

Late at night, somewhat tight 

Guardian angels put to flight 

Freddie's doused the neon light 

That promised while it shone 

Time to go, time to blow 

They don't push me 'cause they know 

I am still in my long ago 

When Annie took me home 

There, was I wondering why 

Annie'd choose to ask me over? 

But she did, sure she did 

She called me her Irish Rover 

Sat me there in her chair 

Ran her fingers through my hair 

Talk of Heaven, I've been there 

When Annie took me home 

Rafters rung, songs were sung 

Like Spanish is the loving tongue 

Ribbons on my life were hung 

When Annie took me home 

There was wine, there was time 

All the while guitars were playing 

When the day came my way 

And she told me I'd be staying 

Love can go, love can grow 

Did she love me? I don't know 

Though she often told me so 

I never really know 

Was I blind? I don't mind 

I think life's been more than kind 

Thanks to life there was the time 

When Annie took me home 

Thanks to life there was the time 

When Annie took me home
