Rachel - Marley's Ghost

Rachel was a girl I used to love when I was young

Shoulda heard the love songs that we sung

Shoulda heard the way we laughed, walkin' 'long the stream

Barefoot through the meadow by the lazy San Joaquin

Rachel was a melody that I first learned to sing

And a sorceress just barely in her teens

Skinny-dipping sight to see with freckles everywhere

Queen in faded hand-me-downs, wildflowers in her hair

She had a way of saying this was never gonna end

Saying good night like a lover and good morning like a friend

Rachel was a watermelon, ripe and freshly stole

First girl I ever loved, first lie that I told

Rachel laughed and Rachel sang and Rachel held my hand

Rachel watched me grow into a man

Rachel sat and listened to me when I told a lie

Rschel waved me out of sight when I said goodbye

The San Joaquin still rolls along where me and Rachel strolled

But the meadows turned to parking lots and me and Rachel’s old

Rachel’s just a memory that I still like to hold

First girl I ever loved, first lie that I told

First girl I ever loved, first lie that I told
