Nathan Reich — Virginia lyrics

Lyrics

Those guardian taxis are all alone
They keep on trying to follow me home
It’s late for the city but not for me
I’ve been having some trouble falling asleep
She is reading my palm with the tip of her finger
While the room is swaying from side to side
I pretend we are safe in the belly of a ship
While the sails are at war with the wind outside
Oh Virginia
I didn’t know you were selling your time
Oh Virginia
I’ve been paying with my peace of mind
I was trying not to listen to the things you’d say
But I was lonely enough to listen that day
Now I’m stitching my skull with needle and thread
While removing those splintering words you said
Oh Virginia
I didn’t know you were selling your time
Oh Virginia
I’ve been paying with my peace of mind
I’ve been paying with my peace of mind
So let’s go back
Brave enough to wonder
Two little kinds
In love with the sound of thunder
I know you still want to
I must be a fool for holding you
After pulling apart my fragile spine
Watching you sleep in the bow of my arms
Is slowing beginning to break my heart
