O Annie, come hold me br Come boldly and swiftly br Force like the wind br Unbroken and sweet. br br You icon of glory br Your name is untainted br No one can take from you br All that you've done. br br Driving intuitive, pushing half blindly br Creative talents in synergy burst br No clear goal, nor steadfast agenda br Exhiliration on the crest of a wave. br br Older and wiser you woo us eternal br Spirit of love strumming its angst br Angel of pain, angel of pleasure: br Dark is the world br Where the blood of youth runs. br br Now you have lines upon your face........ br The depth of your spirit br Integrity of lyric br Your art br Is more beautiful now br Than the famous icon of pop br br Idealists break on life's shore br Again and again br And rise from the rubble and chaos br 'When tomorrow comes'................ br br Thank you for the pleasure you give....
