Anniversary Lyrics - A Beach Full Of Shells - Al Stewart

This is the day you disappeared 

Your hand was steady and I know that your mind was clear 

You left a note up on the shelf 

Saying "I would rather be anyone but myself" 

You took a simple ride across the Great Divide 

You left the television on in you room 

Your friends were sad although they said "I told you so" 

You never really did fit into your skin 

The small annoying things you do 

All seemed so cute and entertaining when they were new 

This kind of honeymoon can't last 

I think you knew you wore your welcome out much too fast 

I was surprised to see you played the lottery 

Your winning ticket you won't need anymore 

You were in such a rush you never stopped to check 

You jacket pocket on your way out the door
