Eric Maust - Anna Lee

I love a girl named Anna Lee
I met her in the dry heat of late summer's eve
In Iowa when the corn turned to rustlin' sheaves
Both the land of God and Moroccan winds
Her hair tossed with the fields of grain
Was it her that made it go or just a trick of fate
I'm a liar if I said I never looked away
Don't stare at the sun to see it shine

Anna Lee, through the curtain drawn
Anna Lee, there you are in the sun
Anna Lee, when I see you in the light
I can't believe you're mine

Awake at night in bed we've been
Talking 'bout the child that she's carrying
The night's warm but it cools as the wind blows in
In both my arms I hold two lives
When we wake, I watch her go
To walk along the path where the berries grow
Just beside the bank where she used to roam
Oh, that girl breathes summertime

Anna Lee, through the curtain drawn
Anna Lee, there you are in the sun
Anna Lee, when I see you in the light
I can't believe you're mine

Anna Lee

I love a girl named Anna Lee
She gave to me a son beneath November's leaves
Though soon we'll come within the grasp of winter's reach
We'll build a home where there was none
