VIRGINIA, 1923:
Oh, Virginia,
1923, but take it forward to the Second War
I've been fighting since you were born.
I fixed eyelids.
You sew them back together when they fall apart,
Those soldiers of broken hearts
Sweet Ohio,
Swimming âcross the sea until I get to shore,
But the lawyer men loved you more,
and it's all in their hands.
- Could you believe me?
Could I fix your eyes?
- But you're all I see!
Could I ever make you realize?
- Sing me to sleep!
Thought I'd be a little taller by now...
- You sent me flying,
- Now the sun sets slowly on our hiding sky.
- We're grounded and old and wise.
- Fifty years gone!
- But we'll see them all again when our bodies fly,
- And you'll be right by my side.
âCause it's all in our hands...
- Time moving slowly,
And I need you more.
- They could never control me.
I love you Eleanor :)
- Cause you're all I see.
Could you love me like you loved them then?
You sent me some flowers blooming,
Roses from our eyes in sunlight,
Tricks to keep our bodies moving right
