Miwa Nagato-Apthorp – Abigail/Takeda no Komori Uta
[Music] [Music] there are four long years of dreams i’m looking through for the ones where i’ve seen you that i’ve told nobody i just kept them with me in the hope that they’d come [Music] true and your mother says i have a look of you she can see you in my eyes but i’m nothing like you she’s just trying to find you the great lost love of her life and of course you’d be the first to laugh and the first to shed a tear you had a lot to laugh for even more to cry for when you were here [Music] cigarettes and stolen perfume you were never one to think things through we jumped in the tv fully clothed and we left a trail of water around the [Music] school i am running along that river again i’m calling your name but you can’t hear me my voice is lost to the current that carries you away now my love you are like the dawn you are the light laid out before sweet as a whisper true as a song that goes on and on and on sweet as a whisper true as a song that goes on and on and on [Applause] [Music] [Music] more oh he goi [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] bak sheep oh bey [Music] [Music] [Music] oh [Music] she said [Music] y know i no [Music] we are here oh no [Music] ooh oh yeah oh no [Music] ooh thank you so much [Applause] [Music]
