Album: 23rd Street Lullaby
Anna
in a foreign blue
yesterday I saw someone
who reminded me of you
and I
held my breath and called your name
and though I knew it was not you
I followed just the same
I wanted to raise the glass
to a symphony of miles
and say our last farewell
to yesterday's child
Anna
sweep the doorway clean
Let's forgive before we blame
and I
will make my own amends
with the dust and sin
underneath my skin
and on my maiden name
So let's raise the glass
to a symphony of miles
and say our last farewell
to yesterday's child
Anna
in my dreams
I open my arms and I'm flying
let's do some living
forget about the dying
Anna
I've done my thousand days
now I'm walking free in time
and I
still have my imaginings
where there's no struggling
or suffering
just cigarettes and wine
So let's raise the glass
to a symphony of miles
and say our last farewell
to yesterday's child
