Annie Goes to Sleep

Annie Goes to Sleep - Anika Moa

Who's that smiling over a tale

We need our eyes to loosen our sail

I have dreams that darken your mind

For a while my heart will never lie

Annie goes to sleep

For all the mornings that sweep in with you

I saviour them and lean on them too

'Cos in the morning that's when I'm certain

That I love you

It's a dream to be becoming sweet

Don't worry your face I'm singing for you

Never mind the dust won't make you delay

Send it away I'm singing for you

Keep on talking give me a moment

Let's make a plan to live on an island

'Cos I've been thinking this through and through

It's crazy islands that make up you

Annie goes to sleep with a man on her mind

Rough housing all the sheets that contain her

It's a dream to be becoming sweet

Don't worry your face I'm singing for you

Never mind the dust won't make you delay

Send it away I'm singing for you

I have only confessions

I believe in my heart

And to live on your island

Would be crazy

It's a dream to be becoming sweet

Don't worry your face I'm singing for you

Never mind the dust won't make you delay

Send it away I'm singing for you
