This song came together slowly - the arrangement revealing itself as time went on. Though it was originally written in Port Coquitlam, BC somewhere in 2009 it took 3 years to get the arrangement that appears on this album.
lyrics
Well she said her name was Anastasia...
Kinda took me by surprise...
Said she'd always loved the winter...
Was beneath an October sky...
I was so much younger than I am right now...
I was so much younger than I am right now...
Anastasia...
Anastasia...
And age brings wisdom...
Tragedy faith.
Go ahead take a chance on love...
Show a little grace...
And understanding baby, a little understanding
maybe...
That's when I fell in a wonderful dream...
At this point in my life.
At this point in my life.
I'm gonna wonder if you are still breathing.
Dreaming.
I'm gonna wonder if you are alive breathing.
Well I wrote the end and the beginning.
Some sing romance is dead.
Like an unwritten novel somethings are best left unsaid.
I was so much younger than I am right now...
I was so much younger than I am right now...
Anastasia...
Anastasia...
And age brings wisdom...
Tragedy faith.
Go ahead take a chance on love...
Show a little grace...
And understanding baby, a little understanding
maybe...
That's when I fell in a wonderful dream...
At this point in my life.
At this point in my life.
I'm gonna wonder if you are still breathing.
Dreaming.
I'm gonna wonder if you are alive breathing.
She Said her name, her name, her name...
She Said her name, her name, her name...
She Said her name, her name, her name...
She Said her name, her name, her name...
Yeah... it was all a dream.
Like I'd never seen.
It was all a dream.
Like I'd never seen.
It was all a dream...
Well I've walked for endless miles.
Along the King's open highway...
And I know you'll go your way.
It's time for me to be on mine.
I am so much wiser than I was back then.
I am so much wiser than I was back then.
Anastasia...
Anastasia...
She Said her name, her name, her name...
She Said her name, her name, her name...
She Said her name, her name, her name...
She Said her name, her name, her name...
She Said her name, her name, her name...
She Said her name, her name, her name...
She Said her name, her name, her name...
She Said her name, her name, her name...
