Virginia - Ron Pope

[00:00.84]Virginia - Ron Pope
[00:03.92]
[00:12.29]I grew up in the kind of place you have to pass
[00:16.61]When traveling somewhere else
[00:19.97]
[00:24.41]My mother laughed more than she cried
[00:27.30]But when she cried
[00:28.82]Well it was something everyone felt
[00:34.78]
[00:36.70]Virginia
[00:37.77]I've been baffled by the echoes
[00:40.57]I've been deafened by the sounds of that place
[00:49.16]Where they said we should dream of heaven
[00:52.39]And keep our feet right on the ground
[00:56.43]
[01:01.27]I don't know if this is where we're meant to be
[01:05.99]But hey Virginia
[01:07.80]Won't you spend your days with me
[01:11.08]
[01:15.25]I dreamt of skies
[01:17.18]A quiet blue that laid to rest the pain of darker days
[01:23.23]
[01:27.47]And my dreams collide with subway cars
[01:30.38]But in my heart I knew
[01:32.43]That I was frightened for a change
[01:38.02]
[01:39.04]Morning paints the bedroom in a faded grey
[01:43.78]My hands remember yours
[01:46.90]
[01:51.20]I drank because I could not sleep
[01:54.30]Now I can't sleep 'cause I don't drink no more
[01:58.53]
[02:04.27]I don't know if this is where we're meant to be
[02:08.85]But hey Virginia
[02:10.81]Won't you spend your days with me
[02:14.26]
[02:19.43]New York ain't so pretty
[02:21.50]New York ain't so strange
[02:25.23]Soon we'll both forget our alibis
[02:28.91]Then maybe we could find a way to change
[02:35.37]
[02:46.58]I don't know if this is where we're meant to be
[02:52.36]I don't know if this is where we're meant to be
[02:58.33]I don't know if this is where we're meant to be
[03:03.05]But hey Virginia
[03:04.77]Won't you spend your days with me
[03:09.73]
[03:12.34]Won't you spend your days with me
