lyrics

Dear Abe Lincoln,

Things are getting pretty strange, but your face is on the five-dollar bill. There is a needle, and it's pointing up to space- it is standing in Seattle near a harbor.

And I'm wishing you could hear me and we'd take a walk outside. I could show you 'round the neighborhood, you'd show me 'round your pride. I could see all of the angels swimming 'round us in the light, as I'd watch you take your very first bite of something you ain't had before.

Dear Abe Lincoln,

Could you try and help me out? You see I've got some thoughts that I can't seem to handle. When times got tough; when the country was demanding of you more than you could manage, did you falter?
