Abigail, I buried you so deep
It’s a wonder that they found you
Down by where the pregnant lilacs weep
Well I guess I should have drowned you
But the water was froze up
And your memory rose up
I’ve made many beds in many towns
Hung like heads ‘neath starry crowns
You’re the only weight I could wish for
But you don’t pin me anymore
And the buoyancy abounds with a pull
Nothing ever drowns full
The water was froze up
Your memory rose up
Abigail, I buried you so deep
I remember when I found you
Down by where the pregnant lilacs weep
I remember when I found you
