Ode to Rebecca
From as long as I can remember
There’s only been one lover I’ve known
I’d count at each end of December
On finally making her my own —
And it’s sad how all those years have flown.
When I was young we shared a sweet tooth
Wherever she was, she had my share
Nobody else understood the truth
Nobody else I knew seemed to care —
How I wish that she’d always been there.

Rebecca, won’t you tell me your name?
Won’t you give me a glimpse of your face?
I’ve seen the rest and they’re all the same
Doing time looking for your address Rebecca,
I can’t settle for less.
As I grew older, she seemed a part
Of my soul that had broken away
I had a head but I’d lost my heart
I know I’ll find it in her one day —
When twin souls come together to stay.
At times the long road I walk went wrong
Many’s the time I’ve been insincere
An angel comes to someone who’s strong
I only hope the road’s end is near —
I feel my dream will soon disappear.
Rebecca, won’t you tell me your name?
Won’t you give me a glimpse of your face?
I’ve seen the rest and they’re all the same
Doing time looking for your address
Rebecca, I can’t settle for less.
