Come to your senses Virginia, the water is warm
The wine was expensive, Virginia, the year you were born
Answer the doorbell, I'm ringing the doorbell
(I love you Virginia, I love you Virginia)
Jump from the mantlepiece, sooner or later
I'll have you Virginia, have you Virginia, I will
Kissing the vicar, Virginia I see you I do
You shimmer like glitter, Virginia, the vicar and you
The stars are like studs in a heaven of leather
(I love you Virginia, I love you Virginia)
I'm under the moon and I'm over the weather
I'll have you Virginia, have you Virginia I will
You're vicious, Virginia, to treat me the way that you do
Malicious, misleading Virginia I'm pleading with you
My back is an altar so fall to your goddess
(I love you Virginia, I love you Virginia)
Tell her you'll never go back on your promise
I'll have you Virginia, have you Virginia I will
Instrumental
I'll sink if I think of you little Virginia I fear
I'll brick up the windows and wait for you year after year
My eyes are like mutton for crows to unbutton
(I love you Virginia, I love you Virginia)
Count to a thousand and all of a sudden
I'll have you Virginia, have you Virginia I will
Come to your senses Virginia, your eyes are like seas
They're blue and they're grey
And they're speckled with fishermen's pleas
Railway decisions are knotted like ribbons
Of oxygen spilling from cracks in the rigging
I love you Virginia my tender my tether
I love you Virginia, I love you forever
