Ice On Her Lashes Lyrics - Flags - Brooke Fraser

The lone woman stands in the turning December 

She's got ice on her lashes, white on her winter coat 

The trees stand like soldiers around her 

Dutiful wooden curse 

And the heart she feared frozen 

Still beats and still marches on 

Oh, Annie 

I will think of you each time I see the sun 

Didn't want a day without you 

But somehow I've lived through another one 

A gentlemen waits on a platform in a haze of gray and grief 

Now he's sold up his assets, starting over at seventy 

The steam blasts like trumpets around him 

Salutes on the colonnade 

As he thinks to himself, 

"We're all waiting for our train to come" 

Oh, Annie 

I will think of you each time I see the sun 

Didn't want a year without you 

But somehow I've lived through another one 

Did you find it hard to breathe at first? 

Were you wounded and in disbelief at how much it hurt? 

Now the ache's still burning, but the world's still turning 

Isn't it? 

Oh, Annie 

I still think of you each time I see the sun 

Didn't want a life without you 

But here I am living one
