Abbie is a song that falls firmly in that great tradition of stories concerning that great tragedy, unrequited love. It is breezy and catchy, and wonderfully mopey. Its subject is a mysterious woman - and all the hazy memories of young love that she inspires.
lyrics
Abbie, you got me acting like a child now.
Well, don’t you get too wild now,
just try and play it cool.
And Abbie, I barely even know you
but there’s a lot I want to show you
before you treat me like a fool.
I’m so tired.
Got so high I found my head
set on fire,
dreams of you inside my bed,
so I’ll ask you one more time…
Abbie, I love that jacket on your shoulders.
I love your eyes because they’re older,
at least enough to see me through.
And honey, it’s a miracle we’re sober
but if you ever grow much colder,
how I’d hate to see you blue.
I’m so tired.
Got so high I found my head
set on fire,
dreams of you inside my bed,
so I’ll ask you one more time…
