I grew up in the kind of place you have to pass when travelin' somewhere else.
My mother laughed more than she cried, but when she cried, well it was something everyone felt.
Virginia I am baffled by the echoes, I've been defend by the sounds
Of that place where they say we should dream of Heaven and keep our feet right on the ground
And I don't know if this is where we're meant to be
Hey, Virginia, won't you spend your days with me.
I dreamt of skies of quiet blue that laid to rest the pain of darker days
And my dreams collide with subway cars, but in my heart I knew that I was frightened for a change
And the morning paints the bedroom in a faded gray, my hands remember yours.
I drank because I could not sleep, now I can't sleep 'cause I don't drink no more
And I don't know if this is where we're meant to be
Hey, Virginia, won't you spend your days with me.
New York ain't so pretty, New York ain't so strange
Soon we'll both forget our alibis and maybe we could find a way to change
And I don't know if this is where we're meant to be
And I don't know if this is where we're meant to be
And I don't know if this is where we're meant to be
Hey, Virginia, won't you spend your days with me.
Won't you spend your days with me.
