Dale Anne

Dale Anne - Bob Lind

Dale Anne is a mermaid on the sand

Reaching out with helpless hands

For someone to understand

Sometimes I get to thinking of the way

She used to cry

It makes me want to rise

And paint her picture on the sky

So everyone could see how sadly beautiful she is

And bring sunshine to the darkness where she lives

Dale Anne is a bird with frozen wings

She's the queen of everything

That's been forgotten by the spring

She has been deserted by the ones she used to trust

Packing up their promises

They vanished in the dust

Standing at the crossroads of tomorrow

And goodbye

She's lost inside of other peoples' lives

Dale Anne is a song that no-one hears

Holding memories like a mirror

Reflecting images of tears

All her faithless vagabonds have finished

With their scenes

She remains discarded in the graveyard

Of her dreams

Whenever I see roses helpless in the rain

My thoughts go turning back to Dale Anne
