Abilene (demo) Songtext
von Damien Jurado

I′ve fell in love with a girl of nineteen
she's black haired girl i called Abilene
′young girl', where's your husband?′
′sadly she replied, 'i do not have one.′
'then it′s you i will marry with your parents' permission′

'no fine sir, they will not let me marry
for i am a young girl
and you are a man without money
'so then i′ll come by your window
tonight when they both will be sleeping


hmmmmm

outside your window
in a carriage, i will be waiting
they′ll awake, find you gone,
rub their eyes, and think they're dreaming
and never did they think
that their Abilene would leave them

′so, fine sir
where is it you shall take me?
is it in the mountains high
or is it the deep blue see?


is it the deep blue see?
