Anna Lyrics

Oliver Anna

Anna
Go out on the sidewalk
Two blocks to your right there's a circle
Where the broken people go
And there on broken benches
They sit all alone with their neighbors
Who they've met but don't know
And they sit and they articulate in their own ears
Past the point of wishing they could have someone like you
have me

Anna
But still the hollow midnight footsteps
Pacing nowhere round the room
And your darkened eyes say everything's gone wrong
I've been here but you won't see me
Holding out a loving hand
Oh, Anna
You'd think you're alone

Anna
While you're at the window
Be sure not to stop the warm sunlight
From burning through your skin
If I can never help you
I'll be on my way
I'm not worth it
And you won't see me again

Not unless you write and need a friend
I'll come again, again
Not unless there comes a time
When I can make a change in you
By touching you
Anna

And stop the hollow midnight footsteps
Pacing nowhere round the room
Calm the darkened eyes where everything's been wrong
And kiss the livid lips
So pale from never speaking
Oh, Anna
You're not alone

Anna
Go out on the sidewalk
Two blocks to your right there's a circle
Endless
