Raelene Raelene

(album: Diamantina Cocktail - 1976)

Who would think that
After not having seen you in all these years,
There you would stand,
Right in front of my eyes.
And my mind flew back,
Through memory lane,
To those happy days,
I recall so fondly,
By such a surprise

Oh, Raelene, Raelene,
Tell me what's happened through the years with you,
What did you find there,
What did you find there
Oh, Raelene, Raelene,
It feels like I'm catching up to you,
I hope you don't mind that,
I hope you don't mind

I have much to tell you,
'bout all the faces and the places that have passed
Since I last saw you, long time ago.

Friends have often asked,
"tell me, have you seen or heard from Raelene,
She's been gone such a long time"
"No, I really don't know."

Oh, Raelene, Raelene,
Tell me what's happened through the years with you,
What did you find there,
What did you find there
Oh, Raelene, Raelene,
It feels like I'm catching up to you,
I hope you don't mind that,
hope you don't mind
