lyrics

rachel
in a summer dress
many long ago
from detroit
from port aransas
from an island of snow
we sat in the kitchen
and my face it stopped working
and we all sang "papa was a rodeo"
and we smile with our eyes
and we laugh with our eyes
and we know, yes we know, yes we know

wildflowers and cigarettes
and shoes full of sand
bird song and good vines
getting pulled away from the land
and there is a song that's always been sung
but that i can't ever understand
it goes "the man with the lord,
and the lord with the woman,
and the woman and the lord with the man."

and hey you gotta have love
you gotta have a front door to walk through at night
and oh, it don't seem like much
to kiss those bare feet and rest in those eyes
but sometimes that great wall you built
to hold back the flood
only locks those flood waters in tight
then your home is in danger
and your heart is a stranger to your mind
and you drink the salt water
with the fisherman's daughters
and you cry and you cry and you cry

so you drive through the desert now
and you look for a sign
and you smile when you remember
that big yellow house in the sky
where they put money in your hat
they put flowers in your beard
and in your dreams she kisses you slow

rachel
in a summer dress
many long ago
