Everybody's saying I've been sinking Like I've got some kind of damned old curse They keep talking about my drinking They don't care nothing about my thirst There is no greater danger than trying to find yourself Because there is no stranger stranger than a man is to himself Anne Lise please tell em I'm alright Cover me a little while Anne Nobody sees except by their own lights All I need from you Is a little smile Anne Lise please The river is icing over There's a ring around the moon If it gets any colder
We could cross over cross over that river soon You could get away with me Leave all them fools behind How else are we ever gonna see All those dreams in the back of our minds Anna Lise please tell em I'm alright Cover me a little while Anne Nobody sees except by their own lights All I need from you Is a little smile Anne Lise please Anne Lise please tell em I'm alright Cover me a little while Anne Nobody sees except by their own lights All I need from you Is a little smile Anne Lise please
