Rebecca - Mackenzie Phillips
Rebecca moves across the world She's a sirocco on the sand She is the Nile that flows for ever Cutting the wound across the land She'll be your friend before you know her She’ll have your trust before its earned But like any nomad she will wonder Breaking the hearts of all concerned History clouds what we remember The one you wanted her to be Mystery shrouds her like an island But it’s an island in a lonely sea Oh, Rebecca Oh, Rebecca I was thirteen going on forty Wasting my summer on the beach Burned on the outside, raw in the middle That’s Molly just too hard to reach Rebecca moved in, she moved me She was the best friend I’d ever had And then one day went away Didn’t think I’d ever feel that bad Where did you go? Why did you lie? Why did you leave without saying goodbye? How about the promise That you made me? Was it really easy to trade me For another town Another friend Another beginning without any end So many times I would’ve called you If I had your number in my hand You were the one I would have turned to When things didn’t go the way I’d planed I never got a chance to tell you Things didn’t go the way I’d planned History clouds what I remember The one I wanted her to be Mystery shrouds her like an island Dose she still remember me? My life is a turnstile So many strangers passing through There've been more than I can number But I still remember you Oh, Rebecca Oh, Rebecca
