everything you do touch me.. if You ever comes around goodsforfogotten Sweden for a tour youtre welcome here. Love your stuff!

Annmarie was a very close friend for a period in my life where I was generally feeling sorry for myself and often not the greatest person to hang out with. Annie, as I always called her, was a very dear friend during that time. Yet, when I went on to marry and raise a family, Annie became more and more isolated herself and it seemed I couldn’t keep our old friendship as it once so wonderfully was. When she passed away, too soon, these words came to me and I remember her often with a smile, straight talk and always a helping hand. Something I should have shown greater appreciation for when I had the chance.

This is a crude recording from my iPhone complete with background noise and such, but it was the first time I played it and decided it was what should be preserved despite its warts. I over-dubbed the harmonies and harmonica.

Lyrics: Annmarie by Craig Durgy

Annmarie, oh Annmarie
Her name is like a falling autumn leaf
She made me laugh, till I could see
That loneliness is at its best
Whenever she’s not here with me
Annmarie

When I was up, when I was down
I’d call on Annie, and she’d come around
No matter what, no matter when
She’d be sure to see that you’re
Supported by your very best friend
Annmarie

The only time she ever let me down, let me down
Was when she wouldn’t help herself come round, come around

When the days, took her away
The silence fell like secrets in the rain
She held me up, I let her fall
As the world got heavier 
The only thing I said to her caused pain
Annmarie, my Annmarie
