Rachel`s Song Lyrics

Rachel`s Song lyrics

Must be a cold front coming

Cause I saw the eastbound C&O

And the coal cars were dusted with a half inch of snow

And that boy'll drive me crazy

Don't know what I'll do with him

School will be out tomorrow if that cold front moves in 

Calling out

To the dying daylight

The shadows of the mountains

Bringing on the night



The old folks like to whisper

He favors your side in his face

When he gets a little older

He's going to lead a merry chase



(chorus)

When I'm all alone it's all right

It Isn't going to wound my pride

If anyone can claim they're all right

So can I



I wrecked the El Camino

Would have been DWI

So I just walked off and left it

Laying on its side

The troopers found it in the morning 

And they said it's purely luck I wasn't killed

I probably ought to quit my drinking

But I don't believe I will



(chorus)



He used to ask about you

About a million times a day

I got so tired of trying to answer

I just turned my head away

Now he don't pay me much attention

He's not asking anymore

I guess he'd probably know you

If you walked back in the door



Calling out to the empty night

Watching as the snowflakes

Come dancing round the light

Dancing up against the window

It's like they're peeking through the glass

And they hover for a moment 

And then they fall on past

Calling out
