Suzanne Vega - Annemarie Lyrics

Suzanne Vega Lyrics

"Annemarie"

I saw your face
I knew you'd haunt me
For all of my life
Rising above me
If you could want me, I'd be
No man's wife

Everyone sees you
Everyone knows you
How can I possibly compare?
Who could attain you
With all of your pain
Who could possibly hold one so fair?

Terror, pity, love
Annemarie

Brilliant and stormy
Her perfect beauty
She moves through the world
With money and family
She glitters with trouble
She's that kind of girl

Everyone loves you
Everyone wants you
How can I possibly compete?
Who can explain you
With all of your pain
Who could possibly make you complete?

Terror, pity, love
Annemarie

If I could see God
His face would be sacred
Like yours, Annemarie
But God's face is hidden and
Your face is suddenly
All I can see

Everyone needs you
Everyone worships you
How can I possibly complain?
Who could contain you
With all of your pain
Could I gather up
All that you remain?

Terror, pity, love
Annemarie
