Rachel

Lyrics
Rachel was a woman, she was sensitive and warm
She had flaxen hair and rhythm in her boots
When she moved the room it grooved, people came and stared
Women laughed and children scrambled at her feet
Roll me over and he picked me up again, She spoke it out with eloquence and grace
Roll me over and he picked me up again, The evening came and carried her away.
Twilight twilight twilight twilight come and twilight gone
She moved as though she never would again
My oh my and side-to-side, you know she moved so smooth, you know that girl could dance
My oh my and side-to-side, you know she moved so smooth, you know that girl could dance.
Roll me over and he picked me up again, She spoke it out with eloquence and grace
Roll me over and he picked me up again, The evening came and carried her away.
Jason was a gentleman, his hair was dark and coarse
He spoke in tones of wisdom old and true
When he spoke, the laughter broke, people gathered round
So he gathered up his courage, he asked her for this dance
He said, "I beg you ma'am,I beg you for this dance."
It seemed to work cause she seemed to smirk
And she took his hand and led him through the crowd.
Then he held her tight cause it just seemed right and he kissed that girl he kissed her sweet and true
Then he held her tight cause it just seemed right and he kissed that girl he kissed her sweet and true.
Someone told me that love's a simple thing, Take my song and take my words
Only only all I know is what I heard
And the evening came and carried her away, And the evening came and carried him away, And the evening came and carried them away.
Said, "Mister tell me won't you tell me what you know."
He said, "Only only all I know is what I've seen, only only what I've seen" yeah
"Only only all I know is what I've seen." And the evening came and carried him away.
Well his words were few and chosen, and his eyes were dark and strong
And his whiskey like his words they seemed to go
He said, "Behold before you stands a man, I want to live my life, and find a wife so fine
He said, "Behold before you stands a man, I want to live my life, and find a wife so kind.
He said, "Only only all I know is what I've seen, only only what I've seen" yeah
"Only only all I know is what I've seen." And the evening came and carried him away
