Track 5 | Footprint | Bruce Stephen Foster
See her walking from the station through the rain
Young and tempting, but her face has shown the strain
The kids are waiting for thier mother to arrive from working late
And thier arms are open wide for Darling Rachael
Are you sleeping well tonight ?
Darling Rachael, is your life a bit uptight ?
A lonely life is more exciting when you share it with a friend
But a friend is not enough for Darling Rachael
Who’s that knocking ?
Someone standing at the door
Children watching, but they’ve seen his face before
And so a lover unaware becomes thier father for the night
But they’re orphans in the morning,
Darling Rachael, are you sleeping well tonight ?
Darling Rachael, is your life a bit uptight ?
A lonely life is more exciting when you share it with a friend
But a friend is not enough for darling Rachael
Not much to say since he broke your heart but “He’s gone … ”
If every day brings a brand new start, then carry on….
And so a lover unaware becomes thier father for the night
But they’re orphans in the morning
Darling Rachael, are you sleeping well tonight ?
Darling Rachael, is your life a bit uptight ?
And you can bet you’ll save the kids from making all the same mistakes
And if anyone should know, it’s Darling Rachael, Darling Rachael,
Pretty Rachael
