Lyrics Kishi Bashi – Annie, Heart Thief Of The Sea
Text:
If you want to see my girl
You better be ready, Imma show you the world
On a beach and on the shore
I’ll tell you a story and it’s all about a pearl
It glistened in the sun it had nothing to fear
Many came from near and far
There was nothing like the beauty that they saw
I was sailing on the sea
There was nothing as far as I could see
When a vision of a girl
Blinded my eyes, she’s as pretty as a pearl
Swam along with us awhile
I was hooked, I was smitten by her smile
When she traded me her heart
I took it from her hand…
Why’d you give me your heart, Annie?
What’d I do?
Why’d you take my heart, Annie?
All you left me was a pearl
When I looked into my palm
I was swallowed by the vision that I saw
In this pearl of perfect white
I saw us together in a union of delight
When I looked into her eyes
I saw nothing but the mirror of the skies
I dove deep into the cold
I was ready to be…
Why’d you give me your heart, Annie?
What’d I do?
All you left me was a pearl
When they pulled me from the cold
I wondered why I’d never felt so old
For my hair had turned to white
I’d long been dead and so had my wife
She had died of a broken heart
She was lookin’ for my…
Why’d you give me your heart, Annie?
What’d I do?
Why’d you take my heart, Annie?
All you left me was a pearl
