Ride Annie Ride

Instrumental Intro

Verse 1

Snow comes sideways off the ridge

Annie bends low to the antlered neck

Her knuckles stiff around the strap

The herbs are wrapped against her chest

Warm as any beating heart

Pre-Chorus

Storm wants her soul

Storm wants her name

The frost hooks are miners

Of continuous pain

Chorus

Ride Annie ride

Through the howling white

Ride Annie ride

The witch woman waits tonight

Ride Annie ride

Do not look behind

Ride Annie ride

The mountain knows the line

Verse 2

Frozen teardrops on her lash

She spits them loose and laughs

Something primal, something core

Keeps her spine against the roar

Breath for witchcraft blood for gods

She was never built to stop

Pre-Chorus

Hooves find the hollow

Hooves find the stone

The drifts try to swallow

But the drifts are not alone

Chorus

Ride Annie ride

Through the howling white

Ride Annie ride

The witch woman waits tonight

Ride Annie ride

Do not look behind

Ride Annie ride

The mountain knows the line

Post-Chorus

Hey-ya hey-ya

Hey-ya ho

Hey-ya hey-ya

On and on she goes

Bridge

Slow the storm

Slow the snow

Let her through

Let her go

Slow the storm

Slow the snow

Let her through

Let her go

Ride Annie ride

Through the howling white
