Lyrics
- There’s a wound in my spirit, no balm can e’er heal
In my soul is a sorrow, no voice can reveal
And deeper the furrows, will sink on my brow
For Annie, my own love, is gone from me now
For Annie, my own love, is gone from me now - Like the moon to the twilight, she came to my heart
And fondly she told me, we never should part
By Death, unrelenting, she’s freed from her vow
And Annie, my own love, is gone from me now
And Annie, my own love, is gone from me now - Like the night when the moonbeam, is gone from the sky
In the gloom of my sorrow, heart-broken I lie
Oh! seek not to sooth me, to earth let me bow
For Annie, my own love, is gone from me now
For Annie, my own love, is gone from me now
