Prefab Sprout – Anne Marie lyrics

There's a person that I'd like to be, anne marie
I can glimpse him when you're next to me, anne marie
There is music that no-one can hear, anne marie
Yet it's audible when you are near

Anne marie, anne marie, what am I to do ?
You are married to someone else yet
Every waking hour I think of you
Oh listen to me anne marie

Anne marie, anne marie, nothing much is new
I've a history of wanting what I cannot have
This time it is you
Don't listen to me anne marie

Anne marie, there's a person that I'd like to be, anne marie
I can glimpse him when you're next to me, anne marie
There is music that no-one can hear, anne marie
Yet it's audible when you are near

Oh anne marie, this world's an unfamiliar place I see
When you're with me, when you're with me I hear
Strange music in undiscovered keys
When you're with me, when you're with me

Anne marie, anne marie, it's time to walk away
I have never been noble but then maybe being
Noble feels this way, when you're next to me anne marie

Anne marie, and though it's time I can't believe
That I'm saying goodbye
Anne marie - why ?
