Intro

Verse

slept high up in the Rockies

 set my clock for californ-i-ey-aye

 and i dreamed up somethin special to give that ocean

 man, she cuffs me anyway

so i’m banking on virginia

to keep me calm and clear and straight

just like clock work seems to tell us

with every passing storm there’s just a harder hail

Chorus

 so light my way, Virginia May

 i can’t sit still, just pace across this hallway

 we spent all this time

 just trading crimes,

 while the tune-smith packed a lunch,

 he’s headed down the coastline

there’s a loneliness thats blowin

well i heard it from the radio man

he’s been locked up in the belfry

listening close, to a string upon a can

me, i’m sailin on to that savior,

she’s a pilgrim living on the modern time

and ever since i found her magic

now every car or cloud that passes is a sign

light my way, Virginia May

i can’t sit still just pace across this hallway

we spent all this time

just trading crimes

and i’m saving all my sleep for another life

i’m saving all my sleep for another life.
