Hear the morning rain keep fallin
Feel a dark cloud coming over your skin
Sadness lingering in the air
Oh but baby brother please don't despair
Grandma annie she cared when no one did
She made a man out of a kid
Now I know shes lying there still as ice
But she'll be sleeping with the Angels
Tonight
Annie's eyes could see right through me
She's the only one who ever really knew me
I never got the chance to say goodbye
But I will always be guided by Annie's eyes
Looking down from the sky
Times got tough out where we lived
Momma couldn't make it so Annie stepped
In. I could never comprehend the love
She gave another generation left for her too
Raise
Annie's eyes could see right through me
She's the only one who ever really knew me
I never got the chance to say goodbye
But I will always be guided by Annie's eyes
Looking down from the sky
I couldn't get home to see my kin
I couldn't get across that deep ocean
It will never be the same without you
Here but I'll be alright Annie don't you fear
Annie's eyes could see right through me
She's the only one who ever really knew me
I never got the chance to say goodbye
But I will always be guided by Annie's eyes
Looking down from sky
