Story Behind the Song
The song is about an 18th century hunter who has to be off for the hunt, leaving his wife, Rebecca, behind for the hunt season.
Lyrics
He went out to ride the night, this night, today. Whiskey and a brick of rye, he headed out the way.
Riding on a cloud of dreams, stardust seeps into his seams. And in the desert mirages rise, and her taste stands in his way.
Rebecca holds back those tearing eyes. Until he is off, into the sunrise.
He came back to her, on a cold dark winter's day. He knew his settled life, and there he would have to stay.
Rebecca, Take Me Away
Rebecca, Take Me Away
