Virginia

I grew up in the kind of place you have to pass
 When traveling somewhere else
 My mother laughed more than she cried
 But when she cried
 Well it was something everyone felt.
 Virginia
 I've been baffled by the echoes
 I've been deafened by the sounds of that place
 Where they said we should dream of heaven
 And keep our feet right on the ground
 I don't know if this is where we're meant to be
 But hey Virginia
 Won't you spend your days with me
 I dreamt of skies
 A quiet blue that laid to rest the pain of darker days
 And my dreams collide with subway cars
 But in my heart I knew that I was frightened for a change
 Morning paints the bedroom in a faded grey
 My hands remember yours
 I drank because I could not sleep
 Now I can't sleep 'cause I don't drink no more
 I don't know if this is where we're meant to be
 But hey Virginia
 Won't you spend your days with me
 New York ain't so pretty
 New York ain't so strange
 Soon we'll both forget our alibis
 Then maybe we could find a way to change
 I don't know if this is where we're meant to be
 I don't know if this is where we're meant to be
 I don't know if this is where we're meant to be
 But hey Virginia
 Won't you spend your days with me
 Won't you spend your days with me
