I have to fit these pieces back together

My brother-love, you are so very clever

At stitching up what Daddy tears apart

She said I want to come back as a dancer

I said why don't you be a dancer now?

And the silence that she gave me was no answer

Anna, Anna Belle, Anna Belle Lee
As if I leaned into some ancient mirror
Covered with the grime of centuries
The images are closer but no clearer
And I can't feel the typhoon for the breeze
She said I want to come back as a dancer
I said why don't you be a dancer now?
And the lovers and the drugs are not the answer
I have to fit these pieces back together somehow

Anna, Anna Belle, Anna Belle Lee
Keelie
Anna, Anna Belle, Anna Belle Lee
She said I want to come back as a dancer
I say how can you be a dancer now?
And the silence doesn't give me any answer
I'll have to fit these pieces back together
on my own
somehow

Anna, Anna Belle, Anna Belle Lee
