Birds Of Virginia

I can fix your father’s chair up for you
I can paint the hallway in a day
I can drop the subject if you want to
I know how late is too late

Here I stand beside you in the market
Here I carry water to the bed
Here I make love with you like a prophet
To empty the thoughts in your head

You are the light of my home
You are the mother of my children
You are my calm and my wild
You are my everything

You are the birds of Virginia
You have a universe in you
A flash of bright in my winter
You are the birds of Virginia

One step at a time, love

Every day before me is a God
You can bury your face in my shirt
I won’t drop you, I won’t drop you
You’re so kind to me sometimes it hurts
