Virginia

The warmth of your voice
Puts me to sleep at night
And I when I open my eyes
I hope I see yours staring back at mine
Amber in the morning sun
The glowing of your skin
The corners of your lips starting to lift
And the safety of a grasp that I hope will last forever

Staring at a tapestry
In the dimness of a basement
Wishing you by my side
Helping me study faded patterns
I miss the safety of your chest
And the rhythm of your breathing
The way that you smile with your eyes
And the way you hold me when we lie together
And I don't want to leave you

I never thought that I'd fall for you so easily
And I'd trust you so completely
I'll walk with you forever cause our love is evergreen
In a forest of jasmine and elm
I'd lasso the moon
To sit next to you
Every night watching the sun in your eyes
I wish I was with you
Down in Virginia

The gentle dance stalks of wheat
Under clouds of blue and violet
That permeate a golden sky
Spotted with mountains in the distance
Both your hands are clasped in mine
As you sink into my chest
I'll love when the crops are dead and withered
I'll love you when Ceres brings the harvest

I never thought that I'd fall for you so easily
And I'd trust you so completely
I'll walk with you forever cause our love is evergreen
In a forest of jasmine and elm
I'd lasso the moon
To sit next to you
Every night watching the sun in your eyes
I wish I was with you
Down in Virginia
Down in Virginia

I don't care if they say we took it fast
From that first night I knew that this would last
I would sit up on the countertop and make you laugh
For all time
It's no wonder that your lullabies make me break down
You came into my life so suddenly but now I'm found
You can kiss me at a wooden cross outside your town
For all time
For all time
For all time

And watching every sunset
With you at my side
Is all I ever wanted
And even when we're old and gray
Sitting on a porch
I'll look into your eyes
Knowing there's no one I love more wholly

And you can hold me every night
Until we're buried in the ground
The two of us together
Only us together
Just know that I missed you
Down in Virginia
I wish I was with you
Down in Virginia
And we can spend forever
Down in Virginia
