Rebecca

Words & Music by Crag Jensen

Rebecca lived near Chatham

In a cottage by the bay

I know because I knew her

So well, way back in the day

We'd watch the blazing sunrise

Each and ev'ry day

When no one knew her like I knew her

So well, way back in the day

I think about her now and then

Although it isn't wise

'Cause then I want to hold her once again

And gaze into her eyes - but

Rebecca's not available

She moved on some years ago

Somewhere south of New Rochelle

But exactly where - well, I don't know

And so I rage against the moon

Like some gypsy moth deep in June

Please wake me up by noon

If you dare, if you dare, if you dare.

(do-do-do...)

And so I sit in my little room

Remembering all the ways

She would fly me to the stars and back

So well, way back in the day

I think about her now and then

Although it isn't wise

'Cause then I want to hold her once again

And gaze into her eyes - but

Rebecca's not available

She moved on some years ago

Then married herself an architect

A regular kind-of-guy - or so I'm told.

And so I rage against the moon

Like some gypsy moth deep in June

Please wake me up by noon

If you dare, if you dare, if you dare.
