Stephin Merritt - Abigail, Belle of Kilronan lyrics

[Click here to read Stephin's account of the making of "Abigail, Belle of Kilronan"] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Chorus]
