Abalin

Abalin, Abalin,

do you love him loud enough to listen

when he's calling?

You'd be a fool to say

you didn't know you could hear him,

after all those nights

I saw you sleep under the pillow.

There's a rabbit on the porch,

out to get you,

scare the critter off

with some of your voodoo.

Climb into the cellar slowly,

yes his face was so familiar,

I believe it.

You'd be a fool to say

you didn't know he was waiting,

after all those nights

I saw you turn down his picture

before any man could have a look at you,

before any man could fall in love with you.

Baby, it's been so long

since you gave up on me,

maybe I should be happy.

There's a knocking at the basement door.

Who is calling?

There's no one home but Abalin,

and no use looking.

I'd be a fool to say

I didn't know you were leaving,

after all your clothes started

to disappear.

And I found your old photos

down by the river...

who put 'em there?

I forgive you,

but I'll never go down to the cellar

trying to find you.

There's more to love than being tragic,

but you wouldn't see that,

you just scared a helpless rabbit,

and never came back.
