Lyrics Anastasia - The Slackers

Anastasia

Anastasia, oh, Anastasia
Three mouths to feed, a mother’s work is never done
Still I can see it in your eyes
The pain, the lies you had to hide
What you endured, you kept it inside
He deceived you
He would deceive you
Your husband’s left and gone
How will you carry on Got no parents to turn to To make ends meet was up to you
No time for tears when there’s work to do You carried on Through the darkness
Your dreams denied
No one by your side
To help you through
You carried on And raised a family
Still found the strength
No one else to thank
Except for you
You’re the savior
You were the savior
You toiled day and night
To make things seem alright
You worked your fingers to the bone
To make a safe and happy home
Behind closed doors you slept alone
You carried on Through the darkness
Your dreams denied
No one by your side
To help you through
You carried on And raised a family
Still found the strength
No one else to thank
Except for you
Oh, Anastasia, Anastasia
Forever in my heart
You know you’ll always be From time to time I think of you
What a surprise if you only knew
I’d write this song to sing for you
Oh, you carried on Through the darkness
Your dreams denied
No one by your side
To help you through
You carried on You raised a family
You found the strength
No one else to thank
Except for you
You carried on Through the darkness
Your dreams denied
No one by your side
To help you through
You carried on Raised a family
You found the strength
No one else to thank
Except for you
You carried on You carried on Yet, you carried on Ooh-oh, you carried on
