Lyrics:
Dear Abelard,
I am drunk & lonely,
I would like to be drunk & lonely
with you.
Dear Abelard,
my eyesight is going,
the expectation of beauty.
Dear Abelard,
why are you far away?
Dear Abelard,
I can’t sleep.
See? my baby see.
Though insomnia is precious too.
Since I last saw you,
dear Abelard, I haven’t slept.
I sleep in your bed
or not at all.
I’m always walking over there,
dear Abelard.
It keeps me in the same room
as my loss.
Dear Abelard,
I need to see you.
That’s all I know.
