Virginia

[00:07.70] Another Thursday at the mall
[00:09.74] Virginia hadn't slept at all
[00:12.56] Eyes were red and bloodshot
[00:14.35] As she waited for her fate to call
[00:17.58] Sick of sweeping popcorn
[00:19.93] Underneath that silver screen
[00:22.42] Living in the shadow of the
[00:24.64] Light of other people's dreams
[00:40.70] Never did too well in class
[00:42.48] A curse that never seemed to pass
[00:44.47] Temper hot as fire
[00:45.83] But inside she had a heart of glass
[00:48.14] Tired of performing for a
[00:49.83] Crowd that never seemed to care
[00:51.82] Virginia saw her chance she had to
[00:53.80] Get up and get out of there
[00:57.62] All the people like to say
[01:01.04] That silly girl had lost her way
[01:06.28] Oh Virginia
[01:08.16] You've been hanging around with the wrong crowd
[01:11.83] You've been turning your radio too loud
[01:15.62] We'll be waiting for you when you come round
[01:19.58] We're waiting and waiting and waiting on you
[01:23.49] Virginia
[01:33.01] It wasn't til a moonlight night
[01:34.94] Five years after she took flight
[01:36.77] We saw Virginia kill a man
[01:38.57] She never could tell wrong from right
[01:40.70] Watched her weep and worry
[01:42.13] Watched her fall in love and say I do
[01:44.39] Saw Virginia often
[01:46.29] But only for an hour or two
[01:48.17] Lost among the stars
[01:51.23] Driving fast in fancy cars
[01:55.24] We wonder where you are
[01:59.54] All the people like to say
[02:02.98] That troubled girl had lost her way
[02:08.25] Oh Virginia
[02:09.99] You've been hanging around with the wrong crowd
[02:13.78] You've been turning your radio too loud
[02:17.53] We'll be waiting for you when you come round
[02:21.57] We're waiting and waiting and waiting on you
[02:25.20] Virginia
[02:29.27] And so a couple years went by
[02:31.28] Virginia was a secret spy
[02:33.11] An up-and-coming novelist
[02:34.97] A daughter and a pastor's wife
[02:36.80] But what about her family?
[02:38.75] Trying to live happily
[02:40.74] Never saw a letter
[02:42.15] Or a gift under the christmas tree
[02:44.27] And soon she played her greatest part!
[02:46.17] Something true and full of heart!
[02:48.04] And all the liars called it art!
[02:49.97] We thought her fate was sealed!
[02:57.17] Virginia
[02:58.78] You've been hanging around with the wrong crowd
[03:02.43] You've been turning your radio too loud
[03:06.13] We'll be waiting for you when you come round
[03:10.28] We're waiting and waiting and waiting on you
[03:13.96] Virginia
[03:23.73] Despite her wealth and great renown
[03:26.68] Another Thursday came around
[03:29.73] A ring from fate on that old phone
[03:32.26] A last transmission called her home
[03:35.81] Mother sick and fading fast
[03:39.18] Father had already passed
[03:42.03] Not even this could change her mind
[03:44.86] The shiny lights had made her blind
[03:53.26] Anytime her name is said
[03:56.71] The people always shake their heads
[04:00.79] Toll the bells, she's good as dead!
[04:04.23] The girl who left to play pretend
[04:09.42] Oh Virginia
[04:13.17] Why'd you leave us?
[04:16.92] Oh Virginia
[04:20.63] Don't you need us?
[04:24.44] Oh Virginia
[04:28.13] Why'd you leave us?
[04:31.99] Oh Virginia
[04:35.79] Don't you need us?
[04:39.59] Oh Virginia
[04:41.26] You've been hanging around with the wrong crowd
[04:45.06] You've been turning your radio too loud
[04:48.83] We'll be waiting for you when you come round
[04:52.64] We're waiting and waiting and waiting on you
[04:56.54] We're waiting and waiting and waiting on you
[05:00.12] We're counting on betting on praying for you
[05:06.68] Oh Virginia!
[05:09.28]
