Paul Weinfield/Tam Lin - Anna Lee (Album Version)

ANNA LEE//Paul Weinfield//He called me yesterday to tell me hed been delayed. He said he was staying in Singapore till April. But when he asked me about you, well, that was when I knew: youre the real reason hes not coming home. Oh he's another man alone on the other side of the world trying to make sense of your tangled memory ... And oh, Anna Lee, youre so proud and so free but one day youre going to take a tumble. Oh, Anna Lee, youre so proud and so free but one day you are going to fall ... It was nothing you could prevent. Yeah you're always innocent. Youre not obliged to give your heart to everyone who wants it. And when push comes to shove you talk about higher love. You say you wont settle for anything but the best. You're like a wrestler in the sand, trying to keep the upper hand I should know, thats how you were with me ... But oh, Anna Lee, youre so proud and so free but one day youre going to take a tumble. Oh, Anna Lee, youre so proud and so free but one day you are going to fall ... And your life keeps on spinning faster and faster, as you draw nearer, nearer to disaster, as you run from everyone and everything that you cannot master ... And every time that we meet youre always so discreet. You say there are a few men that youve been seeing. But dont you know that I understand
theres only ever been one man? Theres a man in your mind youve been trying to bring to his knees. But I dont judge you in the end. You know youll always be my friend. I just get sad when I try to make you see ... That oh, Anna Lee, youre so proud and so free but one day youre going to take a tumble. Oh, Anna Lee, youre so proud and so free but one day you are going to stumble. Oh, Anna Lee, youre so proud and so free, but one day youre going to find yourself getting humbled. Oh, Anna Lee, youre so proud and so free, but one day, mama, you are going to fall ...

I think the solo version is better because it is more personal.I am not complaining one little bit because this version is good,I just like the other one better.
