Intro

Verse

I found something crying; it was my soul

I fed it milk so it wouldn't grow old

We crossed the borderline at dawn

And woke up in a field of corn

My father told me i was late

I better start oiling the gate

Said that those that rush will fall

  But I don't want to wait for waves

  I don't want to wait at all

Chorus

Annie, let's not wait

  Let's cross the river now

  We could sit for years

  Staring at our fears

  Oh, they're such pretty things, they're so cute

  But our dreams are all we really need to grow

Verse

I found something dying; it was my light

It had resigned itself to night

So I threw it out a fishing line

And said "Catch your will and then catch mine"

Chorus

Annie, let's not wait

Let's cross the river now

We could sit for years

Staring at our fears

Oh, they're such pretty things, they're so cute

But in the end they're just a suit

Chorus

Oh, Annie, let's not wait

Time's not on our side

Well, it never was

You know that, deep inside

Oh just look at you with your ruffled hair

Oh, I love you and that's all you need to know
