When Annie Took Me Home - Tom Paxton

Late at night, somewhat tight

Guardian angels put to flight

Freddie’s doused the neon light

That promised while it shone

Time to go, time to blow

They don’t push me cause they know

I am still in my long ago

When Annie took me home

There was I wondering why

Annie’d choose to ask me over

But she did, sure she did

She called me her Irish rover

Sat me there in her chair

Ran her fingers through my hair

Talk of heaven, I’ve been there

When Annie took me home

Rafters rung, songs were sung

Spanish is a loving tongue

Ribbons on my life were hung

When Annie took me home

There was wine, there was time

All the while guitars were playing

When the day came my way

And she told me I’d be staying

Love can go, love can grow

Did she love me?

I donÕt know

Though she often told me so

I never really know

Was I blind?

I don’t mind

I think life’s been more than kind

Thanks to life there was the time

When Annie took me home
