Rachel’s Song
by Morgan Foster

Broken fingers on broken glass
Trying to make something that will forever last
But there’s more that’s sure to be
Just believe what you cannot see

And I’ve been thinking it’s about time I move on
A little closer to the light
If you could give me something I could cling to
Then maybe I wouldn’t feel so lonely tonight

Kitchen tiles make an icy bed
Cannot find memory of the words you once had said
Get the mail, do the laundry too
It all seems useless when all I do is think of you

And I keep thinking it’s about time I move on
To a place where I can do what’s right
But if you’re someone that I can talk to
Then maybe I won’t feel so lonely tonight

Grassy blanket serves as a floor
Hoping Orion tells me things I didn’t know before
Read a book find some comfort there
Knowing well that I won’t find it anywhere

And if you had time, could you spare a thought for me?
Just so I know I’m still in sight
And I can’t help but think it’s time we all move on
Cause there’s just bound to be someone else who’s lonely tonight
