Im skippin stones at the edge of the dock
A fog came rollin in, quiet like a hawk
The rivers so smooth, it could shatter with a rock
It felt like I was walking on water
Then the doctors daughter came and dove right in
Lord almighty, shes in nothing but skin
I could turn my head but she may never come again
Shes filling the sky with her laughter
Annalee, Annalee
Youre shaking the timbers youre rattling the leaves
Theres a full moon rising in front of me
Come and stake your claim on 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
Im a mandolin jukebox and Annies at my side
One bottle empty, one waiting like a bride
Shes dancing like light on the water
Weve got six weeks till college, six weeks and then were gone
Oh, life is like a river and the rivers rolling on
So come on, Annie, you taste like brandy
Will you kiss me awake come morning?
I cant promise a lifetime of tomorrows
What tomorrow brings God only knows
I know this about tomorrow, were filling it with sorrow
If we let tonight just end
