John Martyn - Anna lyrics

She came to me so young and free
And put her arms around me
She said that she would always stay
With me until my dying day
We grew up in a dirty town
Where they like to kick you when you're down
If you show an easy side
They twist the knife and open you wide

Oh Anna, oh Anna

Remember how you cried when I bought a gun
I've never been one to turn and run
Everybody's got to have a dream to help
Them make it down the stream
If they cannot chain or buy you you
Know they'll try to crucify you
Now I'm out here on the road
Thinking about my way back home
Oh Anna, oh Anna

We had a dream that didn't last
Like a fly in amber I'm trapped in the past
Stay on your feet in this human race
You think about a lover or a special place
Lost you somewhere down the road now I
Hear you singing when I'm all alone
You're the only one
Makes me feel this way keep on
Searching for you every day

Oh, Anna, oh Anna oh, Anna, oh Anna
