Song to Anne Frank (The Annex Blues)

Song to Anne Frank (The Annex Blues) - Roger Manning

Behind a bookshelf,

Anne wrote, hoped, and prayed

That everything would come out alright someday

Now the sun shines on the annex

And young folks sit and write,

Journals by the waterway.

And in France

[First chorus]
Thousands hit the beaches,
Bodies laying all around
French, German, American, English
And no one's been shot down.
There's peace on the beach in Cannes

In many European cities
You can tell where the bombs fell,
By where the new buildings stand.
Now the sun shines on the continent
Except where the hateful hope to rise again

[Repeat first chorus and first verse]

[Second chorus]
Thousands hit the beaches,
Many hand in hand
French, German, American, English
They're all sleeping in the sand
French, German, American, English,
Together in peace, on the beach,
In Cannes.
