Lyrics Dear Anne Sexton - Vanessa Daou

My dearest Anne, I am living by a lake
With a young man, my dearest Anne
His beard is red, his eyes flicker
His eyes flicker like a cat's eyes

He is like no one I know
His cock sinks deep in my heart
I have owed you a letter
For all these months

Anne, my dearest Anne (I love him now, like I loved you once)
Anne, my dearest Anne (I love a man, my dearest Anne)
Anne, my dearest Anne (I love him now, like I loved you once)
Anne, my dearest Anne (I love a man, my dearest Anne)

Live or die, you said insistently
You chose the second and the first chose me
Is love the sugar-coated poison
That gets us in the end?

Anne, my dearest Anne (I love him now, like I loved you once)
Anne, my dearest Anne (I love a man, my dearest Anne)
Anne, my dearest Anne (I love him now, like I loved you then)
Anne, my dearest Anne (I love a man, my dearest Anne)

My dearest Anne, you loved a man
He fucked you well but you couldn't talk to him
If we could only speak in tongues
But we can't my dearest Anne
And now I'm writing to you
And you're off in the clouds

Anne, my dearest Anne (I love him now, like I loved you once)
Anne, my dearest Anne (I love a man, my dearest Anne)
Anne, my dearest Anne (I love him now, like I loved you once)
Anne, my dearest Anne (I love a man, my dearest Anne)

Anne, my dearest Anne
Anne, my dearest Anne
Anne, my dearest Anne
