Verse:
I found something crying; it was my soul
I fed it milk so it wouldn't grow old
We crossed the borderline at dawn
And woke up in a field of corn
My father told me i was late
I better start oiling the gate
Said that those that rush will fall
But I don't want to wait for waves
I don't want to wait at all
Chorus:
Annie, let's not wait
Let's cross the river now
We could sit for years
Staring at our fears
Oh, they're such pretty things, they're so cute
But our dreams are all we really need to grow
Verse:
I found something dying; it was my light
It had resigned itself to night
So I threw it out a fishing line
And said "Catch your will and then catch mine"
Chorus:
Annie, let's not wait
Let's cross the river now
We could sit for years
Staring at our fears
Oh, they're such pretty things, they're so cute
But in the end they're just a suit
Chorus:
Oh, Annie, let's not wait
Time's not on our side
Well, it never was
You know that, deep inside
Oh just look at you with your ruffled hair
Oh, I love you and that's all you need to know
Chorus Chords
"Annie Annie"
