"Abilene" lyrics

I hear you there across from me
Somewhere talking on an empty street
Was it real to you? Was it make-believe?
If I made it up, does it mean something?
Abilene
Abilene

Coulda sworn I told you everything
Been a long, long night remembering
If I spelled it out for you to read
I would dot the I's, I would cross the T's
Abilene
Abilene

I believe it'll all be right
I believe love will never die
I believe in what's unseen
And I believe in Abilene
Abilene

We were dancing by the front room table
You were my Juilliard antique angel
Even the birds were watching from the cables
Holding onto you like something stable
Abilene
Abilene

There's a world out there where it all went right
In a little house by the riverside
Counting up our tin can dimes
For a fourteen-dollar bottle of wine
Abilene

I believe it'll all be right
I believe love will never die
I believe in what's unseen
And I believe in Abilene
Oh, Abilene

I believe it'll all be right
I believe love will never die
I believe in what's unseen
And I believe in Abilene
