about

The first single from her upcoming record DobroSinger (May 2022). Abbie recorded this song late at night in her tiny home studio, all alone. The Beard Deca-Phonic resonator guitar romances with a woody, grounded dobro sound. The lyric, “leave the flowers in the dirt, leave the cork in the wine,” goes against traditional romantic gestures and towards something more meaningful.

lyrics

Three Quarter Time
by Abbie Gardner (ASCAP)

Lonely moon, shines through the window pane
onto the hard wood floor, where we stood.
The sweetest song sang from the stereo
you took me in your arms and danced me slow

There’s something about a waltz that I adore
the romance in that simple dance, gliding ‘cross the floor
A sentimental melody with your cheek warm on mine
my heart beats, only in three quarter time

So dance me ‘round, when life brings me down
I don’t need a poet, you know how to make me swoon
Leave the flowers in the dirt, leave the cork in the wine
Play the hi-fi and take my hand

Cause there’s something about a waltz that I adore
the romance in that simple dance, gliding ‘cross the floor
A sentimental melody with your cheek warm on mine
my heart beats, only in three
my heart beats, only in three... quarter time
