Birds of Virginia - Denison Witmer

I can fix your father’s chair up for you

I can paint the hallway in a day

I can drop the subject if you want to

I know how late is too late

Here I stand beside you in the market

Here I carry water to the bed

Here I make love with you like a prophet

To empty the thoughts in your head

You are the light of my home

You are the mother of my children

You are my calm and my wild

You are my everything

You are the birds of Virginia

You have a universe in you

A flash of bright in my winter

You are the birds of Virginia

One step at a time, love

Every day before me is a god

You can bury your face in my shirt

I won’t drop you, I won’t drop you

You’re so kind to me sometimes it hurts
