Rawley
Music and Lyrics© – Douglas Eldon McLean – June 29 2012 GEB Publishing/ SOCAN ©

Out across the border lies a ghost of a town
There’s not even a whisper left from those who once walked around
There’s no sign on a cross nor mark on the ground
Only shadows that lurk in the twilight but don’t make a sound

I can’t go down to Rawley
There’s no earthly way for me to get across
If I can’t make my way down to Rawley
I will hold you in my heart no matter the cost

Children laughing and howling in the dark moonless light
My brother lays hiding in hopes that one day we’ll take him alive
Mama calls from the porch” boys come in for the night”
Katy sings to the angels and swears she can hear them reply

But I kneel beside this river every morning
Say a prayer and lay a flower upon the bank
In the distance I can hear sweet voices calling
Till my loved one takes my hand and guides me back

So this river keeps running through the valley below
While the cars and trucks, barges and buses billow out smoke
I stand in the rain, one more fool all alone
But I know she’ll come calling again when she takes my love home.
