"Rebecca" lyrics

Mary Chapin Carpenter, Julie Fowlis & Karine Polwart Lyrics

"Rebecca"

Write your name upon me, Rebecca
Leave your mark in the old bark
Like a love letter

Trace your fingers along the scars
Where the cold steel blade tried to cut me down

They will never truly heal
I can feel them
They will never truly heal
But I can seal them
They will never truly heal
But here I am
And I am still growing

Wrap your arms around me, Rebecca
Climb as high as you can
And we'll seek the light together

Trace your fingers along the scars
Where the cold steel blade tried to cut me down

They will never truly heal
I can feel them
They will never truly heal
But I can seal them
They will never truly heal
But here I am
And I am still growing

Dream your dreams upon me, Rebecca
Let's look over the black ridge
And face the weather

Trace your fingers along the scars
Where the cold steel blade tried to cut me down

They will never truly heal
I can feel them
They will never truly heal
But I can seal them
They will never truly heal
But here I am
And I am still growing
I am still going

Write your name upon me, Rebecca
