Letra de Rebecca de 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
