Rachel Lyrics by Marley’s Ghost

Haunting Melodies

0

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
