"Rebecca" lyrics - MARY CHAPIN CARPENTER

[Verse 1: Karine Polwart]
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

[Chorus: Karine Polwart, Karine Polwart, Mary Chapin Carpenter & Julie Fowlis]
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

[Verse 2: Karine Polwart, Karine Polwart, Mary Chapin Carpenter & Julie Fowlis]
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

[Chorus: Karine Polwart, Karine Polwart, Mary Chapin Carpenter & Julie Fowlis]
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

[Bridge: Karine Polwart, Mary Chapin Carpenter & Julie Fowlis]
Ooh, ooh

[Verse 3: Karine Polwart, Karine Polwart, Mary Chapin Carpenter & Julie Fowlis]
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

[Chorus: Karine Polwart, Karine Polwart, Mary Chapin Carpenter & Julie Fowlis]
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
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

[Outro: Karine Polwart]
Write your name upon me, Rebecca
