Anna Tennilee, do you remember me? I loved you when we were all at peace In our town we learned between the lines Running 'round our paths that intertwined I had to leave - Anna Tennillee, Anna Tennilee
Railroad tracks led me to the north I made it back, but who kept the torch? Getting high, I sense they say it's true Getting by, if you do not choose I had to see - Anna Tennillee, Anna Tennilee
Arriving late with the Italian sun A way to change, but my travels were not done Crossing the moon, a child guiding my hands Through the dunes, blueprints of my plans On the streets - Anna Tennillee, Anna Tennilee
Coming in, but only after dawn I found the switch with every handle gone Open halls, leading to the end Mirrored walls, memories of my friends And in the heat - Anna Tennillee, Anna Tennilee
Up the stairs and what should I now see? A hollowed nest missing from a tree Tiny eggs, all that's there inside Tiny legs, incidental eyes All I need - Anna Tennillee, Anna Tennilee
In her room I thought I heard the sound Of a dream hidden like my crown I held her there, haunted by her eyes Skin so fair, her hopes reduced in size Shaking free - Anna Tennillee, Anna Tennilee
Twenty-two and not yet at the door Mountain view, teeming ocean floor Hidden youth, somewhere with my name Hidden truth, hopes that might change Guard the sea - Anna Tennillee, Anna Tennilee
Anna Tennillee, one day you'll follow me And you will glow above the subways and the trees On that day, you will leave this town On your way just to see this clown I believe - Anna Tennillee, Anna Tennilee
