Rachel Delavoryas Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Rachel Delevoryas

With her thick eye glasses and her plain Jane face

Sat beside me in her fifth grade class

Looking so terribly out of place

Rachel played the violin

And classical music was out of style

She couldn't control all her wild brown hair

Her nervous laughter and her awkward smile and

[Chorus]

It was clear that she'd never be

One of us

With her dowdy clothes

And her violin

And a name like Rachel Delevoryas

[Bridge 1]

But I'd pass by her house in the evening

Going to play with my best friend Ray

And the music floating from her window

Spoke the things that Rachel could never say

[Verse 2]

Rachel Delevoryas

Was eating her lunch as the boys walked by

"Rachel is ugly" she heard them shout

She sat on the schoolyard bench and cried and[Chorus]

It was clear that she'd never be

One of us

With her dowdy clothes

And her violin

And a name like Rachel Delevoryas

[Bridge 2]

And every year the hedge got higher

As it grew around Rachel's house

Like the secret wall inside her

That she built to keep all the heartache out

[Verse 3]

Rachel Delevoryas

Moved back east with her family

Now she's dressed in a beautiful gown

Standing on stage with the symphony

Rachel plays the violin

But every night when the lights go down

I wonder if she still remembers those days

And cruel little boys in this one horse town and

[Chorus]

It was clear that she'd never be

One of us

With her dowdy clothes

And her violin

And a name like Rachel Delevoryas

A name like Rachel Delevoryas
