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
