There's a box of poems And there's a wooden match There's a burst of yellow flame And they quickly turn to ash There's a diamond for your finger On the river bed Down below the bridge where we stood Remember what you said You said, "Darling, I'm in love with you There ain't nothing that I wouldn't do" But it turned out they were lies Annabelle, goodbye I know where you're sitting, baby On the greener side Everything behind you black Smoke it fills the sky Now I feel a cold wind I found out where I stand Now I know that all you said was written in the sand Oh, but darling, I'm in love with you There ain't nothing that I wouldn't do But I know your eyes are dry Annabelle, goodbye This song, it is my last confession I'm a bird on a wire Oh, can you hear me singing My heart's on fire But I got to let it die Annabelle, goodbye
