lyrics
Annie you lost your keys
And you’re lost on me
So I will drive you home tonight
And all them blinking lights
They look like tired eyes
Annie, it’s freezing put your hands back inside
And I don’t drink no more
And I’ll tell you what for
The wine gets me so damn down
Down to the banks where the rusted ships
And bent-back watchmen softly drift
Check their watch times twice
Let that nightmare come
And bless us everyone
See that new mother stand
Sweet baby in her hand
Snow on the shoulders of all the other men
But I can’t wake them up
No I can’t make them talk
Though sometimes I wished I can
Down to the banks where the rusted ships
And bent-back watchmen softly drift
Check their watch times twice
Let that nightmare come
And bless us everyone
And hear that fire whistle whine, whine
Howl through the nighttime
Shaking through that old grapevine
And hear that neighbor dog
He’s talking back and forth
Echoing the ambulances long, lonesome call
Down to the banks where the rusted ships
And bent-back watchmen softly drift
Check their watch times twice
Let that nightmare come
And bless us everyone
