lyrics

Rachael they’ve been saying this is wrong.
I could have told them that much all along.
And the Lord knows I’ve tried to be more than I am;
Somebody decent and strong.

But you know they say there’s no time like the present,
Under the moon while it’s waning in crescents.
I pictured a time that seemed much more pleasant
And imagined a song that was loud and resonant.

Rachael you’ve helped me to see
The man I’m entitled to be.
And he may not be clean in the eyes of the Lord
But since when has that mattered to me?

And besides there’s no time like the present,
Under the moon while it’s waning in crescents.
I pictured a time that seemed much more pleasant
And imagined a song that was loud and resonant.

But the devil don’t care about you and me.
He’s gone and he’s got his own demons you see.
The devil don’t care about you and me
And whether we’re lovers or indeed any of the others we might be.

Rachael you’ve helped me to see
The man I’m entitled to be.
If I could keep it together enough of the time
Then the rest shouldn’t matter to me.
