Lyrics

Annie Claire
End of the evening

   

Annie Claire.

All I can think of is Annie Claire
big brown eyes
and raven's wing hair
she breezes through my daytime life

and loves me in my dreams

and I love her
and want her to be
the girl that I could live with
yes I need her
and want her to see
that she's the only one
who can save me.

So everyday
when she gets on the bus
everything changes
from me into us
but I can't say the words
my heart is screaming
she looks at me and I turn my head
and stair unseeing through dirty glass instead
too crazy, too shy, to even face her

but I love her
and want her to be
the girl that I could live with
yes I need her
and want her to see
that she's the only one
who can save me.

 


   

End of the evening.

It's the end of the evening and I'm burnt and blasted
and the way I feel now I'm surprised that I lasted
and you take my hand
and lead me upwards
with the drop of your dress
I'm glad that we trusted
oh oh oh
.

As I lay in the sea of the booze and the bedsheets
when I'm glad I ignored all the things that my head said
and you touch my chest
and lead me outwards
and I don't need the Gods
to tell me what I should
oh oh oh.

Like the bird in the bamboo I'm at the mercy
of the forces of nature and I feel the frenzy
and you touch my hips
and lead me forward
and you're making me drunker than ever the wine could
oh oh oh.
