Annalee’s Running Free by Sam Kaiser

You had a way with words

You knew how to make them hurt

And I fell for you instantly

Like a child

 

The way that you spoke with grace

And the moonlight on your face

I wish I could show you

I’d be worth your while

 

So hold me

Like you never meant to

Oh, let me

Be the one to catch you

I was walking to

Victoria Avenue

And I thought I saw you there

But I was wrong

 

You’re in a different town

The coffee shop’s been torn down

And I miss the way you play

I miss your song

 

So hold me

Like you never meant to

Oh, let me,

Be the one to catch you

 

Oh, Annalee

Oh, Annalee

I miss your song

It’s been so long

 

Oh, Annalee

You’re running free

Please come back home

 

I know if I ask you to stay

You’ll just leave another day

But, darling, just humour me

For tonight

 

Just pick up those strings and sing

Let me hear that sweet voice ring

And I’ll let you go

I’ll let you go alright

 

Oh, Annalee

Oh, Annalee

I miss your song

It’s been so long

 

Oh, Annalee

She’s running free

Please come back home

Please come back home

Please come back home
