“Chasing Abby”
You’re the sun that shines down on this carnival of hearts.
The ray of light that breaks through when the curtains part.
You’re the healing breath waiting for me to surface.
The spark of hope that lights me up with just a kiss.
But you’re just beyond the horizon.
Yeah, just beyond my reach.
An ocean between us and I can’t,
Can’t find a ship on this beach.
And I’ll keep standing on this shore,
Hoping the light will catch me.
Send up smoke signals you can’t ignore,
But I’ll keep chasing Abby.
’Cause time catches up with everyone,
So I’ll catch up with Abby
All through the streets and down the broken lanes.
All across the years, time and time again.
Your heart keeps me yearning, through the ages.
Your love keeps me learning, flipping pages.
But you’re just beyond the scope,
And this ship hasn’t breached.
You keep dangling the hope,
Just out of my reach.
And I’ll keep standing on this shore,
Hoping the light will catch me.
Send up smoke signals you can’t ignore,
But I’ll keep chasing Abby.
’Cause time catches up with everyone,
So I’ll catch up with Abby.
When I sailed the seas and found you huddled just beyond the signs,
Thought I’d found the grail, but turns out all I found was my sunshine.
I knew then that your heart would never really belong to me,
Because blackbirds can’t touch the sky if you never set them free.
And I’ll keep standing on this shore,
Hoping the light will catch me.
Send up smoke signals you can’t ignore,
But I’ll keep chasing Abby.
’Cause time catches up with everyone,
So I’ll catch up with Abby.
Fly away, my little sunshine.
Fly away where I can’t see.
