	Story Behind the Song This 12-string idea started out as an aire on an 6/8 Irish fiddle tune. In the final version, the electric 12-string has a feel that's sort of like a banjo in a bluegrass arrangement. The opening riff is doubled on the acoustic 12-string. Lyrics V1 Rachel walks her lonely valley Past neon signs and cold, deserted alleys The love that she once knew but can’t remember Smolders to a single, dying ember V2 Long ago this blinding blizzard caught her Falling through the ice to drown in love’s dark water Now all the joy that life might bring her Runs right through her frozen fingers Ch And Rachel won’t you talk to me It’s much too cold to walk these streets Rachel won’t you get back in the car? It can never be like it was before But you’re wearin’ the same dress that you wore That night you showed me who you really are V3 She swears she’ll never love again That no power on earth could mend The bridge that spans the chasm to her heart I fall right in before I can even start Ch as above Br The snow blows cold on Rachel’s mountain Alone, she tends her frozen fountain Ice forms on the earth beneath her feet The silence of her heart sounds her retreat Ch as above Out Out on the streets in this bitter cold Your love can be bought but it can never be sold Rachel come inside and warm your heart Come sit by my fire and I’ll make us some tea We can talk until dawn or just watch the TV Rachel won’t you get back in the car
