Draped atop a center stage
Unfurled against a younger age
Silhouettes of golden fields
And purple sage
Trial runs of kids in love
We had our fun
Annie
We'll be
Better this time around
Guarded like the gates of Troy
With an army ready to deploy
Into open hands below
That are somehow still closed
Haunted like two tangent lines
Like a holy ghost
Annie
We'll be
Better this time around
I remember it like yesterday
You took the keys and drove away
Right off to Monterey
Well you've changed and I changed
And we've changed a bit
But honey, you will see
You will see
Annie
We'll be
Annie
We'll be
Better this time around
Better this time around
Better this time around
