Virginia in the Song
Craig Cardiff Lyrics

Virginia in the song,
the spark of love had not left yet.
the moon and the stars
had convinced oxygen to protect it.
oxygen raged, and said why this spark?
when flames need feeding?
patience said the moon,
love has her reasons.

Virignia in the song

In the song I was tall
all my words came out perfect.
And the satellites aligned and we knew it was worth it.
Oh in the song, all was whole,
in the song, nothing was broken.
Nothing unspoken, there in the song, oh in the song

Well I said
O am I awake,
Im sleeping or is this dreaming?
if I am awake
promise you'll come and get me
Virginia in the song, oh in the song

It was there in Edmonton
where the ghost of Tom appeared to me.
cigarette smoke, town halls,
black hat, warm 50's
he said, craig! now that I'm gone
who'll sing for Alberta?
she gives her heart too quickly,
all the men are planning to leave her.

sing her a song, so she knows that she's worth it
sing her a song so she knows she's perfect
sing her a song,

He I said
O am I awake,
I'm sleeping or is this dreaming?
if i am awake
promise you'll come and get me
Virginia in the song, there in the song

In the song, pride slept,
no words had to be eaten
All the arrogance of Stephen
to not even go out and meet them
Oh in the song, I was whole,
in the song words came out perfect
Oh in the song, It was worth it
Oh fixed in the song

Well I said
O am I awake,
Im sleeping or is this dreaming?
if i am awake
promise you'll come and get me
Virginia in the song, oh in the song

Virginia in the song,
the spark of love had not left yet.
the moon and the stars
had convinced oxygen to protect it.
oxygen raged, and said
why this spark?
when flames need feeding?
patience said the moon,
love has her reasons.
