Rachel Letra

the longest subway ride home

all I saw was your name at the top left corner of the paper in my hand

a yearbook list showed all the best

and we were stars on stage

though I'll never remember a line

I still see your face shining through campus halls

walking through the greenery

that's a face I like to see



dear sweet Rachel I can never get a handle

on my feelings when I want to

and I tell you this cause you know

you put it all in writing

that's a little bit frightening



and maybe the dream we had

well it should have come true

I was standing on the football field in my leather coat

I swung you around till you thought you could fly

maybe that was a dream meant to pass us by



dear sweet Rachel I can never get a handle

on my feelings when I want to

and I tell you this cause you know

you put it all in writing

that's a little bit frightening



funny how it seems you're never far away

funny how it seems the closer I get to the edge of my rope

well the bigger the net for my fall

oh to keep my spirits up

drink from my loving cup



dear sweet Rachel you can never get a handle on your feelings when you want to

and I tell you this cause I know

it's the song I'm singing

it's the gift I bring to you



funny how it seems you're never far away
