Annie from Sandhead ©

There's no rhyme and there's no reason to the distances between
The lives that fate allowed us and the life that might have been
We passed so close so often but could never quite connect
And though we may turn and we may twist, the future has been set

We wanted love but waited, until our chance was gone
Though sweet memories of long ago dared to linger on
We circled and we searched but we drifted out of sight
Now it's so good to see your eyes again, in this fading light

Chorus:
Oh how we could have lived and loved if we had only known
The steps we'd have to take to capture love before it's gone
So if we've tears for crying, now's the time to let them flow
For dreams like snowdrops lost underneath the snow

I'm walking in a circle now, the roads to love are closed
We've settled for the choices that destiny imposed
There's no saying what would happen if I had the chance again
But I couldn't speak the words to you my eyes were saying then

So we'll never be together, but we'll never be apart
While we can still remember the promise of the past
And in our eyes reflections of all we left unsaid
The tender aching dreams of youth, my Annie from Sandhead

Chorus:
Oh how we could have laughed and danced if we had only known
The chains we'd have to break to capture love before it's gone
So if we've tears for crying now's the time to let them flow
For dreams like snowdrops lost underneath the snow
