Kishi Bashi - Annie, heart thief of the sea

If you want to see my girl
You better be ready, Imma show you the world
On a beach and on the shore
I'll tell you a story and it’s all about a pearl
Three feet wide and crystal clear
It glistened in the sun it had nothing to fear

She had died of a broken heart
She was lookin' for my...

Why’d you give me your heart, Annie?
What’d I do?
Why'd you take my heart, Annie?
All you left me was a pearl
