Abby

When I was young
I climbed trees in my neighborhood
I wanted to be seen
And see the world was good

From above
We could see the hats on ladies heads
When the wind blew a sinew
Within you give in loose
You tumbled to the pavement

And Abby
She fell from a tree
Abby
I'd never seen so weak

Abby
An girl of sixteen
Abby
A bird of broken wings

When we were teenagers
I didn't wanna be seen with ya
Spied on me in my underwear late one evening
Could have been my sister

And when you lay in bed
You propped yourself up with a pillow
Across ya in hospital lost was the feeling of
Swinging from a willow

An angel
With tubes for a halo
Abby
Was counting her days oh

A soldier
A woman on a mission
To shoulder
All of life's impositions

And the green twig I hold
Will die too soon
Memories hard to reach
Abby in bloom

Abby
She fell from a tree
Abby
I'd never seen so weak

Oo ooo
And the green twig I hold
Will die too soon
