Ellis Paul - Annalee lyrics

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
