Annalee

I'm skipping stones
 at the edge of the dock
 A fog came rolling in,
 quiet like a hawk
 The river's so smooth,
 it could shatter with a rock
 It felt like I was walking on water
 Then the doctor's daughter
 came and dove right in
 Lord Almighty,
 She's in nothing but skin
 I could turn my head
 but she may never come again
 She's filling the sky
 with her laughter
 (Chorus)
 Annalee
 Annalee
 You're shaking the timbers
 You're rattling the leaves
 theres a full moon rising
 in front of me
 come and stake your claim in my memory
 Annalee
 Annalee
 Did the good Lord send you
 down to deliver me
 Come lay your head in a bed of leaves
 I am here, I am yours for the taking
 Well, around about midnight
 on a riverboat ride
 I'm a mandolin jukebox
 and Annie's at my side
 One bottle empty,
 one waiting like a bride
 She's dancing like light on the water
 We've got six weeks till college
 Six weeks and then we're gone
 Oh, life is like a river
 And the river's rolling on
 So come on, Annie
 you taste like brandy
 will you kiss me awake come morning?
 I can't promise a lifetime of tomorrows
 What tomorrow brings God only knows
 I know this about tomorrow
 We're filling it with sorrow
 if we let tonight just end
