Phil Smith - Annie

Down on the esplanade we'd walk at night
Watch the flames as someone else played with fire
The Western Pier just like a satellite
That someone set on fire and pushed into the night

We crossed the road and you kissed me hard enough
To knock me down, down, down
One smile from you was usually all it took
To knock me out

And outside all the leaves are falling down
But I loved you Annie
Riding through these streets just like the wind
Oh I loved you Annie straight as I could be

You were the shining light I'd never be
You had to save yourself for someone else to glow
You lit the night up like a shooting star
I was caught up in the blazing tail

You looked at me then kissed me hard enough
To knock me down
One smile from you was usually all it took
To knock me out

And outside all the leaves are falling down
But I loved you Annie
Riding through these streets just like the wind
Oh I loved you Annie
Straight as I could be

I never really held you long enough to really make a change
And all the stars that stand above us now for a while we burned as bright
And all the stars that stand above us now for a while we burned as bright X2

I loved you Annie straight as I could be
I loved you Annie how did you love me
I loved you Annie straight as I could be
I loved you Annie how did you love me
