| In the sad silence of night
|
| Lurid sea, so still and dead
|
| I heard Anna weep for her fate
|
| Waves breathing the tears that she shed
|
| So Anna Lee gave her body to the sea
|
| The ocean became her tranqil grave
|
| No more sorrows, now she is free
|
| Devoured by just one greedy wave
|
| Anna Lee lost in the kingdom by the sea
|
| By the sea with no shore
|
| In the lone ancient kingly halls
|
| She chose not to live anymore
|
| And now she’s my queen of the sea
|
| So I sailed across the sea
|
| To find my dear Anna Lee
|
| But the waves didn’t let her go
|
| And the wind never ceased to blow
|
| Anna yearned for mountains and fields
|
| She longed for flowers and trees
|
| But most of all for just one single smile
|
| And a slumber in the warm summer breeze
|
| So I sailed across the sea
|
| To find my dear Anna Lee
|
| So I sailed to find the shore
|
| But couldn’t find home any more
|
| Anymore
|
| Away, so far away
|
| My bride is so far
|
| Away, so far away
|
| My love is so far
|
| I came to this hall where she was before
|
| I shivered, I quivered but I opened the door
|
| A sweet scent of cioletts in the air
|
| But Anna — Anna Lee — no, she wasn’t there
|
| So close your eyes that one day you may see
|
| Me sing songs to my sweet Anna Lee
|
| So close your eyes that one day you may see
|
| Me sing songs to my sweet Anna Lee
|
| So close your eyes that one day you may see
|
| Me sing songs to my sweet Anna Lee |
