Virginia Through The Rain

[Verse 1] You can hear the hotel humming She grabs her shoes and heads out in the rain Another chorus of the times you could and you could not refrain The sun undresses the horizon You grab your phone and text the lie That you’re where you’re supposed to be this time You watch the lightning flash across the windowpane But you can barely see the morning through the rain [Verse 2] I carry distance like a burden My encumbrance and my strain Forty years across the sands Of your devotion and my shame So I’ll blow a kiss across thе garden Gethsemanе, it seems to me Virginia’s just a brick to ease the pain I’m hardly able to sort the sugar from the cane Cuz I can barely see the morning through the rain All my memories fit into a frame But I can barely see the morning through the rain [Bridge] The deluge urges me and the flood submerges me In her scent that lingers And her flavor on my fingers For every ark you fill There’s a hole you never will inside [Verse 3] So won’t you call me Moses Oh won’t you call my name Call me home Call me through the dark When I have lost my way Ginny, please receive me Trust me even when I lie Believe me when I say I’ll try to change These clouds could wash me clean All my sin and all my shame But I can barely see Virginia through the rain All the world it runs in circles Between heaven and the drain But I can barely see Virginia through the rain
