i found something crying; it was my soul   i fed it milk so it wouldn't grow old   we crossed the borderline at dawn   and woke up in a field of corn   my father told me i was late   i better start oiling the gate   said that those that rush will fall   but i don't want to wait for waves   i don't want to wait at all      annie, let's not wait   let's cross the river now   we could sit for years   staring at our fears   oh they're such pretty things   they're so cute   but our dreams are all we really need   to grow      i found something dying; it was my light   it had resigned itself to night   so i threw it out a fishing line   and said catch your will and then catch mine      annie, let's not wait   let's cross the river now   we could sit for years   staring at our fears   oh they're such pretty things   they're so cute   but in the end they're just a suit      oh annie let's not wait   time's not on our side   well it never was   you know that deep inside   oh just look at you   with your ruffled hair   oh i love you    and that's all you need to know      annie annie
