When I met Anna, she could charm But I, myself impregnable Thought myself immune to it The words she spoke and things she did I was unimpressed to say the least And Michael was a friend of mine With eyes so wide but not too bright When Anna, she came into play She chewed him up, then walked away I rolled my my eyes, I'd heard before To expect these things from those like her So I called her my friend Anna At arm's length from my friend, Anna I was only something new to her I graduated, left the state And Anna, she could just not wait To travel north to visit me I barred the door romantically And I felt so prepared to see her face And in one night I'd never seen So many men fall to their knees And Anna, all the cause of it The words she spoke, the things she did To put me firm beneath her thumb But damned if I'd be overcome So I turned away from Anna No goodnight to my friend Anna By the time that I awoke, she had deserted me The next time that I'd see her face After a year, her wedding day The groom a man near twice her age Their child only months away I saved the date begrudgingly When Anna came to speak to me I couldn't take her seriously She asked if we could Keep In Touch She'd said the same to everyone It seemed like something she would do What a strange thing when she followed through So I'd say hello to Anna Once a day to my friend Anna It was mostly just to pass the time Who's to say Why anyone's inclined to tell a story Surely there's a reason Anna would have been the one anointed Center in the grandest scheme When I can't discern what she means in it And that's how I think of Anna Nothing more than my friend, Anna When her husband called, what a surprise He told me she had taken sick With slim chance of recovering The way she talked, it seemed to him That I could be her only friend It would mean the world to see your face I took a cab reluctantly And told the driver wait for me Approached their door, I feel the weight Before I knock, I hesitate And I had no desire to force a smile To know her illness, meet her child So I left her porch, I turned my back And hurried back into the cab I turned away from Anna No goodbye to my friend Anna Not a phone call or a note from her again So I turned away from Anna No goodbye to my friend Anna I sing the story of a girl, completed
