Mason Jennings - Rebecca Deville lyrics
rate me
Last night the willows stopped weeping And everything sat hushed and still And while my body lay sleeping I dreamt of rebecca deville Now I wonder if she was a real girl Did she die when I woke Well i'll sleep straight through to tomorrow And look for her till I go broke I found myself by the highway That i ride in all my dreams I met her while i was hitchhiking From england to new orleans She rode shotgun but stayed facing me And I laid down in the back I fell in love somewhere near illinois And she said she loved me right back Anybody Has anybody seen my little girl around I last saw her in new orleans I can't find her now I stepped into the nearest twilight bar To ask if anyone knew The whereabouts of my rebecca deville The bartender said that he knew He said that just a few weeks ago She hitched a ride out west With a man who said he'd show her the big time Said he would show her the best But he stopped the car two miles down the road And he put a gun to her head And raped her of all that she ever had When rebecca was found she was dead Anybody Has anybody seen my little girl around I last saw her in new orleans I can't find her now Anybody Has anybody seen my little girl around I last saw her in new orleans I can't find her now Anybody Has anybody seen my little girl around I last saw her in new orleans I can't find her now Low doesn't even begin To describe the shape that i am in But you can dream in both directions And bring the past back again So maybe i can find her Before heaven goes and hides her Hope and keep her from going Away Well i saw her again It was a sunday evening She had flagged a ride It was a lincoln continental She was on the passenger side She had ahold of the handle I said rebecca don't go He's not what he seems I said rebecca don't go He's not what he seems Take my word darling And drop out of this dream She said He's going to The big city And i'm going too You know how that is with me I said stop Don't you get in the car Don't you get in the car 'cause i won't be coming back If you get in the back Don't you get in the car Don't you get in the car 'cause i won't be coming back If you get in the back My sweetheart My sweetheart I will just stay awake Six years or maybe eight Till I lose your memory And all that you've meant to me 'cause i can't stand to see this I can't stand to see this I can't stand to see this Well she got inside And waved goodbye And i watched the tail lights They danced like candle light And then they went out Goodbye My sweetheart Goodbye My sweetheart Anybody Has anybody seen my little girl around I last saw her in new orleans I can't find her now
