Steve Hackett - Rebecca lyrics

Manderley was a dream of Full moon and empty sky Lost lands and sunken cities Wave of silk from a perfect smile Though the gates are held fast Once again you're inside There the key to the past Is buried by her side Rebecca Shattered Cupid stowed away You behaved like a parlour maid Tongue tied newly wed bride Back in all your yesterdays Dressed to k** at the ball Eager to show what you wear Never to excel In a house that she still shares Rebecca Day by day she's your reality Day by day a stronger personality If by fire she could reclaim The very walls that scream her name Ashes aglow on the breeze above Her house of plenty but not of love Drowning just as in life The manicured lawns are gone Fleeting as her kiss Lonely as her song Rebecca
