Lyrics

Little Annie's Song
by Emily Richards

Winter
New York, 1980
The children are all long asleep
The wonder, officer
Side of the road
She was born

Now there is one girl alone
She's falling in more ways than one
The sever, the Father
The Mother, the Son
Now there's one

Everything's changed
Who is to blame
Is it them, is it God, is it her
Everything's changed
The wind came and took the flame
She's gone, she's gone, she's gone
Anyway

Lamenting in snow
It comes down, all around
Some say it's over
But I don't
I believe, I believe, I believe

Mourning
Black dress and coat
She clutches his rose
But it's brittle and crumbles
He loved her, he left her
But not of his own choice
He's gone on

Now there is one girl alone
She's falling in more ways than one
Spiriter, streetwalker
Walls made of stone
Is she done

Everything's changed
Who is to blame
Is it them, is it God, is it her
Everything's changed
The wind came and took the flame
She's gone, she's gone, she's gone

Nothing's the same
Who is the one to blame
Is it them, is it God, is it me
Everything's changed
She's empty
But brimming with shame
She's gone, she's gone, she's gone

Some say it's over
But I don't
I believe, I believe, I believe
I believe, I believe
