Annabel
Now the path ahead is gone
Now the fight is really on
I can see real trouble if we wait
Don’t hesitate
Annabel, have no fear
You can be my Guinevere
In the storm I will draw you close
In the tempest, in the snow
Now the fire is getting strong
Now the rules have been withdrawn
I can see destruction if we wait
Don’t hesitate
Annabel, have no fear
You can be my Guinevere
In the storm I will draw you close
In the tempest, in the snow
In the storm I will draw your close
In the tempest, in the snow
In the storm I will draw you close
In the tempest, in the snow
Song Notes
Reflecting on the video directed for the song by Luc Janin which features 23-year-old Clement Vannini, a French skater who was born without his right leg, Tim said: “I think this song has very sweet, protective lyrics to do with looking after someone and overcoming adversity. This video really stood out to us. He is such an incredible skater and we felt it tied in nicely with the themes of overcoming fear and adversity. Clement’s story is so inspiring.”
Tim speaking about the song in 2018:
It was a bit of an unrequited situation and I imagined what the relationship could have been. It was something that never happened - something that never went further than the song. When you get a little bit of a crush on someone that can make for fun writing because your imagination can work overtime in those times. It can be good for songs.
