I saw you standing in the sycamore shade
Bending promises your mother made
Writing letters on a wooden fence
I know you're keeping it in confidence

Singing ooh, Abigail don't be long
Ooh, Abigail don't be long

You know the pen you're holding in your hand?
It's like the summer for a freezing man
Abigail, when am I gonna learn?
The empty pages will never make the fire burn

Singing ooh, Abigail don't be long
Ooh, Abigail don't be long
Ooh
Singing ooh, Abigail don't be long
Ooh, Abigail don't be long

I know you never liked the London rain
You'd trade the tower for a weather vane
But Abigail, now won't you stay a spell?
You've got me praying at your wishing well

Singing ooh, Abigail don't be long
Ooh, Abigail don't be long
Ooh, Abigail don't be
Ooh, Abigail don't be
Ooh, Abigail don't be long
