Sidewalk Annie Lyrics - The Wallflowers - The Wallflowers

She told you about it through a broken, bleeding windpipe 

It shook your bones and made your life feel skin-tight. 

Sidewalk Annie, 

Now your coattails have come undone. 

Your whisper's a scream now 

Since you don't speak to anyone. 

Howlin' winds could never care what she liked, 

Rhythm and Blues or A Stranger in the Night 

It tore up the trailer with the sounds of a howlin' wolf 

The cellar was stone, even the garden was bulletproof.

Sidewalk Annie, 

Now your coattails have come undone. 

Your whisper's a scream now 

Since you don't speak to anyone. 

Little girl in your white ice skates 

We've seen your face walkin' around the old school gates 

With a hand on your hip, and the other one on your head 

You realized it wasn't gone, but lost instead. 

Sidewalk Annie, 

Now your coattails have come undone. 

Your whisper's a scream now 

Since you don't speak to anyone. 

Invested a nickel into the banks of a wishing well, 

Blew out the candles and I hoped for somethin' that she could, 

She could sell.

Now your coattails come undone. 

Your whisper's a scream now 

Since you don't speak to anyone.
