Where will you go my darling daughter?
I'm gonna live down by the water
If I ever could find the time, never no reason or rhyme
I’m gonna live down by the water

I'm gonna send a dozen roses
Down the river like baby Moses
And I'll wash my tears away when I’m down in the river today
I'm gonna a dozen roses, a dozen roses

And who will be your one and only
When the days are lost and lonely
And the little blue birds of spring go down to the river to sing
Who will hear their testimony?

Sing a little song, darling
Sing it like a little blue starling
In the country or the town and for miles all around
Sing a little song darling

Now the days are getting hotter
I'm gonna live down by the water
If I ever could find the time, never no reason nor rhyme
I’m gonna live down by the water
Down by the water, gonna live down by the water
Down by the water

It's 2025 and I just saw The Way Home first episode, first time, and had to go find the song. At 67 years old, I grew up listening to this. Kind of music. Like Gail Davis, Emmy Lou Harris, etc. And I !I've this! Beautiful! I am so glad to have found you. Blessingsl

Who else got here from the tv show The Way Home

[nicolechretien]

I heard this song on the hallmark series.. I loved it right away, I had to rewind it to hear it twice.. Then I looked it up and found it on YouTube.. I listen to it every day. It soothes my soul ❤️

[DaveB]

AWESOME song! “The way home” introduced me to your music, can’t get enough ❤

[CSilver]

Heard this song on Hallmark's The Way Home. I wouldn't typically expect to be introduced to a great song by Hallmark, but here I am! Love it!

[katief]

This is the only song that soothes my baby in the car, may the spotify residuals be in your favor!

[adamscott]

I’m late to the game it seems, but this is one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard and I’m so in love.

[anitac]

I live down by the water w my mom, who i just lost. This song resonates with me. Ty

[centralaveauto]

I did. I'm sure I'm the only guy watching this show. Huge Hallmark fan. Just got back from KC and attended the Hallmark experience.

[WallyZorro]

Just heard your song on Hallmark's " The Way Home" and will be listening to your track list next. Thank you for such a blessed talent. 🙂

[vancedubberly]

Been listening to this song for a year, in anticipation. I now live down by the water. Thank you.

[bernhardb]

Why isn't this more popular? It isn't my usual genre, but it is just beautiful.
Thank you, Spotify algorithms.

Edit: On the other hand, I haven't really gotten over that Meshuggah went big and most of the local kids know more about them than _I_ do. So I should probably shut up and be happy. :-)

The Way Home brought me here too ❤️Such a beautiful

[katharinew]

I love this song so much, I live in England and because of circumstances and money I haven't been able to see the sea for over 4 years! How crazy is that! This song helps

I Just Watched A Beautiful YouTube Video Of Sea Water Tide Pools & This Was The Song Playing
❤❤❤
I Searched It & Just Found It. I Love This Beautiful Song.

[mikeyirish]

Spotify brought me to your music and I am so grateful. What an extraordinary voice/storyteller. Good on you, Abigail.

[l_Live_In_Oregon]

I normally don’t watch Hallmark movies, but my likes time travel stories, so I’m watching. Soon as I heard this song from The Way Home, I was mesmerized by the song! Subscribed of course 😊

[Fayth]

I have been in love with your work since I happened upon it a while back. Your voice is just so mesmerizing and you play the guitar beautifully, and your lyrics are so poetic, too. So inspirational. ❤

[michaelarbuthnot]

Hi Abigail, my eldest daughter just asked me to learn this for her yet to be born baby. Beatiful song, thank you.

[Camey]

Brought by the way home! This is such a beautiful song- keep making life changing music ❤
