chesapeake mile - clayton usher lyrics

Loading...

v for virginia
you sleep like a sheep
while the wolves watch the woods during day
see the sailors in ships
run the chesapeake mile
just a war in the woods by the bay
where the boys dream at night
some promised light
no kings, just the arms of a maid
so v for virginia, and b for the blood
stripped down, the guns out
knowing that you never needed love

dear miss virginia
i watered your land
without praying or dancing for rain
but with gunpowder clouds
over the chesapeake mile
from the war in the woods by the bay
and the girls have dreams
as they walk through the stream
where the stones are the marks of a grave
i do love virginia, so i’ll set her free
stripped down, with guns out
knowing that she never dreamed of me

that i know
hold me big river
i’ll settle in slow
i could sail
i could run
hold me big river
i’ve already begun to spell
v like virginia, and b like the blood
and still i dream they’ll never call it love

sleep sweet virginia
your children the sheep
go to wolves in the woods every day
and the ones not at rest
tend the fields to the west
of the sun from their chesapeake bay
and they all wake at night
for some promised light
a home in the arms of a maid
sing sweet virginia
yeah, they sing for thee
stripped down, their arms out
knowing that they’ll never sing of me

that i know
hold me big river
i’ll settle in slow
in this strange world i see
but hold me big river
i’ve already agreed to spell
v like virginia, and b like the blood
stripped down, the guns out
knowing that you never needed love

oh, that i know
so hold me big river
i’ll drink you in slow
and then reload the guns
hold me big river
forgive what i’ve done
and say “dear queen virginia
i claim her for thee.”
and still i dream
they won’t remember me
