Lyrics Anna Leigh - The Sadies

Anna Leigh

I was up all night and day packing things to go away
To leave my lover for a while and cross from sea to sea
When came the time to say goodbye my love she looked me in the eye
She pleaded with me not to go and told me of her dream
Anna Leigh whats this vision that you see?
Was it just an eerie dream or should I stop and take heed
Anna Leigh whats this vision that you see?
Come on just let go of me I gotta leave, Anna Leigh
She squeezed my hand and kissed me sweet the families waited on the street
I smiled and said I shall return and started down the road
It haunted me through all the shows just what she saw how could she know
What great misfortune I may come to since you let me go
Anna Leigh whats this vision that you see
Was it just an eerie dream ohhh what else could it mean
Anna Leigh whats that vision that you see
I’m so many miles from home, Anna Leigh, Anna Leigh
One day we were gliding slow to make it through the ice and snow
When something happened that I don’t know that everything was changed
Then I awoke so suddenly and I was with my Anna Leigh
We would lay there crying staring at the vision that was me
