East Virginia - Stephen Wade

I was born in East Virginia North Carolina I did roam There I met the fairest maiden Name and age I did not know Her hair it was of the darkest color Cheeks they were all ruby red On her breast she wore white lilies There I longed to lay my head I'd rather be on some dark holler Where the sun don't ever shine And to see you love another And to know you'll never be mine I don't want your green back dollar I don't want your diamond ring All I want is your love darling Won't you take me back again Won't you take me back again

Home is where your heart is forever yearning Hope bears the scars you're forever learning It's been years since you went away Not so far away You disappeared like my voice Amongst the crashing waves I call out and call out The gaslight is fading Where are you now? The light is out Give me something I can dream about Cause come the middle of the night When the restless go away There's never a goodbye Only heartache when you wake And I don't know How much more to take I've never missed you more Please come home Come home, Virginia Please write and tell us how you are Are you happy? Steal your eyes, for a second Be a part of a dying memory Be a sight for a mother's failing heart Make a wish come true Be a sight for sore eyes Still I call out and call out The gaslight is fading Where are you now? The light's out Give me something I can dream about Cause come the middle of the night When the restless go away There's never a goodbye Only heartache when you wake And I don't know How much more to take I've never missed you more So glad you're home Home, Virginia

Don't tell me that you love me I won't tell you that I love you We're too high to see the wrong way Too far to know the right way, oh no The truth is I'm freaking out about this whole Man I'm supposed to be I'm nervous now cause she can't know I'm desperately in need 'Cause up here's hard to reach Fly down, fly down We were staring down the valley When she put here arm a-round me She said the reason you've been hurt is So you look beyond the surface The truth is I'm freaking out about this whole Man I'm supposed to be I'm nervous now cause she can't know I'm desperately in need 'Cause up here is hard to reach Fly down, fly down Fly down Don't tell me that you love me I won't tell you that I love you

I'm calling this the love crusade The truth is like a black bouquet Money's got us all enslaved The bullets and the bombs we make, oh, no It doesn't have to be this way But I promise it'll stay this way If you would rather hear me say That everything is all okay I don't care for your drugs, I don't care for your fame Do you care for the truth if you're not entertained? I can see through your eyes, I can see through your pain And you're scared to admit, you feel out of place Can you hear that, darling? A revolution's calling No child of ours should have to starve Should have to die for us Can you feel that, darling? The monster's marching This is it, this invitation is For the ones who love Sincerely I'm telling you, the world looks perfect from a plane A couple miles up and we all look the same One love tryna show us the way One love that is trying to change And if we connect with that, then we should be enraged These fat cats want us lost in the maze And they're scared 'cause we're breaking the chain They're scared 'cause we're 'bout to escape Can you hear that, darling? A revolution's calling No child of ours should have to starve Should have to die for us Can you feel that, darling? The monster's marching This is it, this invitation is For the ones who love Sincerely There's a billion people That could use a hero Come together, we're the tether Of this love that's spinning 'round We could be that miracle Can you hear that, darling? A revolution's calling No child of ours should have to starve Should have to die for us Can you feel that, darling? The monster's marching This is it, this invitation is For the ones who love Sincerely
