I see your wistful smile even in the mornin' breeze
Your reflection in the lake is just laughin' at me
Everywhere I go, you've got my head up in the clouds
I cannot see the bombs around me burstin' out loud, so
I take in a late night show, that plastic film can really roll
A war is on the radio
Kicked the TV long ago
Try to read but the book can't know, Rebecca, Rebecca
Ahoo, Rebecca
Ahoo, Rebecca
If love makes the world go 'round, I'd go around the world
From Kathmandu to Timbuctu, just searchin' for that pearl
I'd play all my cards and gamble with my life
And speak just when spoken to, I'd walk the edge of night
Every nation's up in arms, I'd open up my arms to you
We're a notch in history
Just a wave upon the sea
You can't beat love for mystery, Rebecca, Rebecca
Ahoo, Rebecca
Ahoo Rebecca
Man takes up the knife to cut another man in two
That's just the opposite of what I want for me and you
Two gentle hearts that often beat as one
Mythical as Mercury just waltzing in the sun
Planting flowers in the yard to a symphony at high noon
Birds sing to clarinets
Songs we can't fathom yet
The rainbow's your silhouette, Rebecca, Rebecca
Ahoo, Rebecca
Ahoo, Rebecca
Playwrites juggle differences, between what is and what could be
Some tell their stories build on utter fantasy
One thing I can not do is critize their plots
I've thrown myself in the driver's seat of a warship bein' shot
And when its time to end the song even if we're all alone
One thing we can be sure of
People push and people shove
If you write just one song write for your, Rebecca, Rebecca
Ahoo, Rebecca
Ahoo, Rebecca
Ahoo, Rebecca
