[Verse 1]
If I want to walk home with you
Hearin' every word, thinkin' it's true
The barren field for us to cut through
On our victory lap, 'cross an old street cat
[Chorus]
That turns to stop and see you
A small stone somewhere in your shoe
All day long
All day long, long
[Verse 2]
The old folks wake up for the day
Seeing the monsters have lingered from the past
And a great bird is flying away from our family tree
Something wrong with me
[Chorus]
Yeah, I got a secret or two
Hiding somewhere but it won't take long
No it won't take long, long
For Annabelle was written by Ben Bridwell.
For Annabelle was produced by Band of Horses.
Band of Horses released For Annabelle on Tue May 18 2010.
This is an homage to my daughter, as at the time of writing my wife was pregnant with our first child, and I guess impending fatherhood was probably the main influence or inspiration for the song. Also, Tyler [Ramsey] wrote the intro in five seconds.
