Abigail
Germany, 1943
It's not a place I wanted to be
But I was born there in 1922
And I was 21 when I fell for you
No, the war wasn't very
Kind to us
Put us on a bus
And sent us in
Different directions
No connection
Abigail, I wonder where you are
Did you make it out
Did you get very far
Abigail, I've been looking for you
And I wonder if
You've been looking too
Did you watch the skies
Light up with me
Were we even
Closer than we think
Now here I am in 1962
Abigail, I'm still looking for you
December 1st, 1989
Back to Berlin
To see what I could find
I searched and shouted your
Name all along the wall
I was alone, but smiled
When it started to fall
I hoped fate would be kind to us
But I got back on the bus
And headed in a
Different direction
No connection
Abigail, I wonder where you are
Did you make it out
Did you get very far
Abigail, I've been looking for you
And I wonder if
You've been looking too
Were you on the other side
Of the wall from me
Were we even closer
Than we think
And here it is, already 2002
Abigail, I'm still looking for you
Part of me prays that you
Moved on and forgot about me
And you have a wonderful life
And a beautiful family
Abigail, I wonder where you are
Did you make it out
Did you get very far
Abigail, I've been looking for you
And I wonder if
You've been looking too
Did you watch the sky
Light up like me
Are we even closer
Than we think
I'll wait at the gate
As I pass through
Abigail, I'm still looking for you
Looking for you
I've been looking for you
It's not a place I wanted to be
But I was born there in 1922
And I was 21 when I fell for you
No, the war wasn't very
Kind to us
Put us on a bus
And sent us in
Different directions
No connection
Abigail, I wonder where you are
Did you make it out
Did you get very far
Abigail, I've been looking for you
And I wonder if
You've been looking too
Did you watch the skies
Light up with me
Were we even
Closer than we think
Now here I am in 1962
Abigail, I'm still looking for you
December 1st, 1989
Back to Berlin
To see what I could find
I searched and shouted your
Name all along the wall
I was alone, but smiled
When it started to fall
I hoped fate would be kind to us
But I got back on the bus
And headed in a
Different direction

Abigail, I wonder where you are
Did you make it out
Did you get very far
Abigail, I've been looking for you
And I wonder if
You've been looking too

Abigail, I've been looking for you
And I wonder if
You've been looking too
Did you watch the sky
Light up like me
Are we even closer
Than we think
I'll wait at the gate
As I pass through
Abigail, I'm still looking for you
Looking for you
I've been looking for you
