Rachel's Song

Must be a cold front coming
 Cause I saw the eastbound C&O
 And the coal cars were dusted with a half inch of snow
 And that boy'll drive me crazy
 Don't know what I'll do with him
 School will be out tomorrow if that cold front moves in
 Calling out
 To the dying daylight
 The shadows of the mountains
 Bringing on the night
 The old folks like to whisper
 He favors your side in his face
 When he gets a little older
 He's going to lead a merry chase
 (chorus)
 When I'm all alone it's all right
 It Isn't going to wound my pride
 If anyone can claim they're all right
 So can I
 I wrecked the El Camino
 Would have been DWI
 So I just walked off and left it
 Laying on its side
 The troopers found it in the morning
 And they said it's purely luck I wasn't killed
 I probably ought to quit my drinking
 But I don't believe I will
 (chorus)
 He used to ask about you
 About a million times a day
 I got so tired of trying to answer
 I just turned my head away
 Now he don't pay me much attention
 He's not asking anymore
 I guess he'd probably know you
 If you walked back in the door
 Calling out to the empty night
 Watching as the snowflakes
 Come dancing round the light
 Dancing up against the window
 It's like they're peeking through the glass
 And they hover for a moment
 And then they fall on past
 Calling out
