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 ?
