Said The Whale - Taking Abalonia lyrics

Sad songs and lullabies Are singign 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
