Brendan Benson House In Virginia Lyrics

House In Virginia Lyrics

House in Virginia

We' love to see you, Emma

Red velvet chairs for
you to sit on, Emma

Blue cobalt teacups every shape, every size

Your favorite designs

White flawed enamel pots

And a place on the
shelf for everything you've got

When are you coming to stay?

Say
that you'll never go away

Porch swings and everything

Your favorite
pets, they're everywhere

Willow trees and a cool breeze

Lemonade,
freshly squeezed

Sun-thickened linseed oil

Is studio equipped for
brooding

Alcohol and turpentine somehow you find it soothing

(chorus)

She stands at the full length

Admiring herself in her
grandmother's hat

She says, when she gets her strength

She's flying
away and she's never coming back

I am done, I am done, I am done, I'm
undone
