LYRICS:
Annie and I got drunk in a backwater town
she dressed just like you do when you're around
the sun may break the day
or give it all away
well, i won't give your ring to someone else

Annie and I went searchin' for a sign
My hawk and hound were never far behind
and I kept the wolves and bay
but I can't make you stay
and I won't give your ring to someone else

Wake up, my lover
and you'll discover my love, pure as the pouring rain
Wake up my lover
Wake up, and you'll discover my heart
will praise the day we met
and those we've still got left

Annie and I woke up from a weekend dream
the proud policemen flashing across the screen
some may save the day
or give it all away
but I won't give your ring to someone else

Annie and I went searching for a sign
My hawk and hound were never far behind
but I kept the wolves at bay
and I can't make you stay
but I won't give your ring to someone else
