Fingernail moon... up in the sky
Come out and see me
See me some time
Cuz I'm here alone
Stuck in the blue
No distance between us
Between me and you
I've got nothing to hide
I got nothing to loose
You'll be by my side
C'mon tell me the truth...

Blah blah blah...
You cut like a knife
It does me no favors...
Stay out of my sight
Blah like glass
All ancient and new
Ohhh... blah blah between us
Between me and you
There's no need to be shy
There's no need to be scared

I need you tonight
Come on out if you dare

I'm just a girl with ma feet on the ground
I'm just a girl with ma head going round
I feel so sad
Something unsettling out of ma skin
I don't know the reason or were to begin
Calling the circles I found ma self in
I want to reach out and touch you ma sweet
Circle you...
Up in the sky
Come out and see me
See me some time
Cuz I'm here alone
After all I've been through
Were the distance between us
Between me and you
It don't matter how long
It don't matter how far
I'll need you tonight
Under the stars

Annie Lennox is an award-winning singer, songwriter and activist who has sold over 80 million records worldwide between her solo work and the duo Eurythmics. At seventeen, Lennox won a scholarship to London’s Royal Academy of Music to become a flutist, but dropped out after feeling that classical music was “far too competitive” and “didn’t fit my kind of personality”.

While working as a waitress at a health food restaurant in London, Lennox met Dave Stewart, with whom she formed the band Catch with singer-songwriter Peet Coombes. Catch released one single before adding two more members and changing their name to The Tourists. Under that name, the band scored five UK hits before Coombes' substance abuse broke the band apart.

Lennox and Stewart continued writing together – with Stewart moving from guitar to synthesizer and Lennox adopting an androgynous look – and formed Eurythmics. Within a few years, the duo was propelled into international stardom when “Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)”, a single from their second album, became a top ten hit in nine countries.
