Story Behind The Song

Two people with hard pasts trying to start over in the country. Inevitably it failed, but not before the moment was captured in this song.

Song Description

Poetry set to music. Love song that could be set in any time period.

Lyrics

As the sun sinks slowly into the trees
I can feel the chill of a cold evening breeze
My eyes search the north ridge
As I head in from the fields
For a candle in the window
Of the house where an angel lives
(Chorus)
Oh my Virginia paint the colors
On a world that is turning into gray
Oh my Virginia lie beside me
Tell me all about your day
Sweet Virginia Chase these shadows away

If you read between the lines on my face
You will find the story of a hard fall from grace
Oh the days go by so slowly
But the years go by too fast
When you're afraid of the future
And running from the past

(Repeat chorus)

Virginia come and hold me Until the break of day
Sweet Virginia Promise me you'll stay
Sweet Virginia Say you'll always stay
