Taking Abalonia

Sad songs and lullabies

Are singing the world goodnight

Sleep tight little world

Sirens on Christmas day

Bad luck is here to stay

I'm watching the world go by

I'm counting out the seconds

Between thunder and lightning

The rain is nature's copper wire

It's wrapped around my feet

And I'm standing in a field

The widest open field

Pack my bags and I am on my way

One last look at how things used to be

I'll burn a fire that you can see

You'll swim ashore and rescue me

We'll build a ship and sail to sea

And start our very own country

I'm taking Abalonia
