Annie Songtext
von Joe Fagin

In the midnight heat
I thought I heard you call my name
Or was it just the hustling in the streets?
The rustling of my feet?
Have I been alone too long?
You′ve always been in my subway dreams
You left my heart just bursting at the seams

I heard a whisper
Was there someone right behind me?
Or was it just a garbage blowing in the streets?
The leaves on the trees?
I'm out in the Central Park

Over my shoulder, all I could see were lonely people trying to hide in the backstreet

You get stuck in the crowded streets
The hooker smiles from limousine
The crowds look on us smother yawns at the mugging on the street
Check out Harry′s Bar of Four
Ignore the drums that lie on the floor


I'm wishing you I was someplace else
Like an everlasting dream
I need you, why'd you run for me?
We swore we′d be lovers but I never knew what that would mean

Annie
Annie
Annie

I′m stumbling around in empty bars
Wishing I could have made a start
I wanna be with you when they bring me down
I'm a prisoner of the dawn
Highways and byways pass me but I don′t know what they mean

I was just wishing I was someplace else
Like an everlasting dream
I need you, why'd you run for me?
We swore we′d be lovers but I never knew what that would mean

Annie
Annie
Ooh, Annie
Annie
