Ribbons of War Part 1: Annelies Lyrics by The Extraordinaires

2006

ANNALIES:
Here’s the tale I never lived to tell
This is my farewell:
We met when I was just a girl
And he asked me for my hand
I, a pilot to the core
And him, a sailing man
Soaring high through cloudy skies
And aeronautic life
He was married to the sea
Where I would be his wife
He just couldn’t share me with the sky and open air
I kissed him one last time
As I tied ribbons in my hair
Ribbons of war
Battle in my hair
High up in the clouds I took the throttle in my grip
I held my breath and aimed my nose
Directly at his ship
My fuselage exploded
And destroyed our tattered love
In life, we were not meant to be
In death, we are as one
In death, we are as one
In the ashes of our love
Swinging on that swing set
And walking hand-in-hand
If only we had found a love
And kept it on dry land
Every time we’d fight you’d try and act so big and tall
I hated laughing at you
But you’re not so tough at all
But now we’re sinking
