Abigail, what are you waiting for
on that dark and windy shore?
Perhaps an old flame who sailed
away, or is it something more?
How long must you go on?
How long must you go on
waiting for him?

Abigail, I ve waited for so long
for you to cease your endless song
Although the melody I sing to you
is sounding just like the same one.
How long must you go on?
How long must you go on
waiting for him?

Abigail, you ve waited for 20 score;
I know that soon you ll wait no more.
I'm sure that someday you ll look my way,
and that s the day I m waiting for.
How long must I go on?
How long must I go on
waiting for you?
