Arthur Barlowe Looks Upon Virginia

Your wild proud heart
Will spark a thousand songs
That spread from heart to heart
Like wildfire
Every man will know you
And love you sight unseen
They'll long for you
Like something from a dream

Oh you capture my mind
And free my imagination
For this moment you are mine
And you will be through the ages

From the green rush of summer
To the softly falling snow
There is not a thing about you
That I don't want to know
I want to lay out in your night
Staring silent at your stars
Smell the pine trees in the summer wind
And hear the nightjars call

Oh you capture my mind
And free my imagination
For this moment you are mine
And for you was I created

Other men will come, I know
And try to make you theirs
Please remember me, my love
Like wildfire
Time past and present
Carry us away
When it's laid me down
You will be my grave

Oh you capture my mind
And free my imagination
For this moment you are mine
And you will be through the ages
