Abigail Creek
LYRICS
" I ran away from things I didn’t want to see
and took pictures of you there with me
I’m no further forward
in getting over you
and this
really won’t do


I sit and watch the sunset
and and sit out dawn
and my heart seems to bleed like a freshly cut lawn
I don’t understand who I am
or who to be
but this sure isn’t like me


I go out with friends and all I do it sit
I just can’t force myself into it
I wanna go to Abigail Creek
and rest my soul in the forest of the weak
I’m like a tree ready to fell
I’m like a junkie
trapped in a prison cell
I don’t care about heaven and hell
and a the moment it’s just as well


Oh, Mr Cloud 
what have you done?
You’ve gone and shot me in the back
with your gun.
Why did you put love in my heart
when you knew fine well
it would tear me apart
He’d say
“Are you sad? How sad?”
“As sad as can be!”
He’d say, 
“Are you lonely…?”
“Just as lonely as you make me.”

The pictures on my wall
just make the room seem small
I pick of the paint
and the chips fall


I wanna go to Abigail Creek
It’s the souls of the elders I seek
History reeks of the mistakes we make
history seeks everything it can take


I’m like the catcher
when nobody fell
I’m like the sinner
without a hope in hell


Take me down to Abigail Creek
this sadness much surely be at its peak
Take me back to Abigail Creek
and rest my soul
in the valley of the weak."
