The Magnetic Fields - Abigail, Belle of Kilronan lyrics

Abigail, can you feel my heart in
The palm of your hand?
And do you understand why I can't stay?
Abigail, an evil wind is
Blowing through the land
And they need every man to drive it away

When I come home, if I come home
You'll be a grown woman
When I come home, if I come home
Don't be alone, Abigail, belle of Kilronan

Abigail is gonna be the
Beauty of County Galway
And she will live always in a world of love
Abigail, I'm off to the war
But you can be sure
I will know you're what I'm fighting for

I'm off to the war but you can be sure
I will know you're what I'm fighting for


I'm off to the war but you can be sure
I will know you're what I'm fighting for

When I come home, if I come home
You'll be a grown woman
When I come home, if I come home
Don't be alone, Abigail, belle of Kilronan
