Send "Annie by the Water" Ringtone to Cell

Sweat in the neighbors
Locking the windows
Crow on the stop sign
Leaves when the wind blows

And Annie can see me
Well from her corner
Still she will meet me
Down by the water

Sometimes I give her
For all that I wanted
Gold and the finest
Lint from my pocket

Annie stopped wearing
The apron I bought her
Annie stopped reaching
For reasons I want her

Send "Annie by the Water" Ringtone to Cell

    General Comment:I cannot believe no one has commented this, these are such great lyrics. it is a past memory of the things he saw when he was in love with this girl Annie, and he's talking about how he would do anything for her and he would have given her anything, and she is constantly making assumptions and always trying to find out the reason that he wanted to be with her, and finally one day she lost curiosity and left.
    thats probably not right :)
