Anna works at the hotel where all the singers hang out
She brings them their coffee when the drinks have run out
She dreams in the kitchen, stands real close to the door
And she listens to them singing, she wants to hear more
They sings songs of the travelling through strange and foreign lands
Play tunes on guitars with strong and delicate hands
Sing of the ladies they left so far behind
Of fame and of fortune they're hoping to find
Anna brushes her hair and waits for the day
For a lover to come and take her away
She will know him for sure
'Cause she's dreamed of him so many times before
When he takes her away
The night's winding down and they're playing out the last tune
It's time to be leaving and chasing that old devil moon
A casual glance and Anna is ready to go
To roll in the arms of some sweet talking Romeo
Anna brushes her hair and waits for the day
For a lover to come and take her away
She will know him for sure
'Cause she's dreamed of him so many times before
When he takes her away
A song is a dream that sometimes gets lost on the way
And dreaming's for lovers who sometimes don't know what to say
But take it as given, it all comes around in the end
When Anna is singing and dreaming of loving again
Anna brushes her hair and waits for the day
For a lover to come and take her away
She will know him for sure
'Cause she's dreamed of him so many times before
When he takes her away
She will know him for sure
'Cause she's dreamed of him so many times before
When he takes her away
