Virgil's House

the road to Virgil's house is steep and long
rises and falls like notes of Virgil's song
I knew her windows and I knew her doors
I knew her face from a photo, and nothing more

but is that her or is that me
the girl beneath the willow tree
a blue dress, a smile, and a ring
she was there and now I'm here
and home has slowly disappeared
Virgil's house lives only in my dreams

the land 'neath Virgil's house is thick and wild
tangles and grows, it's earth is Virgil's child
I knew her meadows and I knew her sky
I knew her grave when I kneeled and said goodbye

but is that her or is that me
the girl beneath the willow tree
a blue dress, a smile, and a ring
she was there and now I'm here
and home has slowly disappeared
Virgil's house lives only in my dreams

is that her or is that me
the girl beneath the willow tree
a blue dress, a smile, and a ring
she was there and now I'm here
and home has slowly disappeared
Virgil's house lives only in my dreams
