Dear Anya

I wake up every day in this haunted place
In the quiet back street of an empty town
Where the summer only comes for a few short days
Then the weather breaks and the clouds come down
I can lose myself a while in the shallow crowd
I can drown my sorrows if the music's loud
But your image comes to mind
And it swirls around me everywhere
But time will not call me a liar
You can go where you want
But it will never be over until
I take up paper and pen and start to write...
Dear Anya Dear Anya Dear Anya
I only get that far
Dear Anya Dear Anya Dear Anya
I wish that you would tell me where you are

And since you disappeared I have just worn black
And I quit my job and I can't go back
I don't want to eat or drink and I know I must
And the milkman comes but he just brings dust
And I can't believe you're gone and it's like you're dead
And the songs we knew, they go around my head
And the televisions on and I call 'is anybody there?'

The time will not call me a liar
You can go where you want
But it will never be over until
I take up paper and pen and start to write...
Dear Anya Dear Anya Dear Anya
I only get that far
Dear Anya Dear Anya Dear Anya
I wish that you would tell me where you are

Time will not call me a liar
You can go where you want
But it will never be over until
I take up paper and pen and start to write...
Dear Anya Dear Anya Dear Anya
I only get that far
Dear Anya Dear Anya Dear Anya
I wish that you would tell me where you are
