Annette

Braved the lakeside again today
A walk on the sand
Fresh air to clear my hungover head

Passing people as they laugh
Smile and talk about nothing
The weather or the weekend

But she -
Who is this, who is this flame alight now
Set me on fire
Set me on fire

It happened too fast to react
You tripped only to fall into me
So confused, but laughed anyway

Helped you stand and brushed you off
Got to walking and we talked
It was night before we knew

But you
Annette, this flame half-met
And slowly I realize
But you
Who are you, why must you
Set me on fire
Set me on fire

No time to mourn
What I've lost
The train has runaway
No one at the helm

But you
A fire inside roars to life
And quickly we realize
But you
Where've you been all my life
Why must you
Set me on fire
Set me on fire
