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 yesterdays child
Anna sweep the doorway clean
Lets 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 lets raise the glass
to a symphony of miles
and say our last farewell
to yesterdays child
Anna in my dreams
I open my arms and Im flying
lets do some living
forget about the dying
Anna Ive done my thousand days
now Im walking free in time
and I still have my imaginings
where theres no struggling
or suffering
just cigarettes and wine
So lets raise the glass
to a symphony of miles
and say our last farewell
to yesterdays child
