The City And Horses - Abigail Adams lyrics

[Verse 1] Abigail, you will sail the North Atlantic On a merchant ship to Paris Oh, how I've longed for your caress [Verse 2] The four years since I've last seen home I've been here shaking hands, securing loans I need you here in this house of limestone This house of limestone [Chorus] Countries fight and countries fail But not our love, Abigail History paints but history pales To our love, Abigail [Verse 3] I save each letter that you send As a way to teach all of the men The breadth and beauty of your pen [Verse 4] And your poses from Stuart back to Blythe Make the roses that are the measure of my life And I save each letter from my wife [Chorus]
