Virginia, No One Can Warn You - Tift Merritt

With your eyes lit up and your dress see-through

With your heart so big, it don’t know what to do

You’re my favorite thing, my sweet cavalier

You have saved my life, I got to leave you here

Oh Virginia, no one can warn you

Oh Virginia, I have tried to

When the winter comes, how the cold moves through

Oh Virginia, no one can warn you

I can not explain how you should begin

I can’t give you word, it won’t all cave in

There’s no good way home, there’s no place to rest

There’s no room down here for a pretty mess

Oh Virginia, no one can warn you

Oh Virginia, I have tried to

When the winter comes, how the cold moves through

Oh Virginia, no one can warn you

You don’t know it yet with your brand new kiss

You don’t want to stay here and live like this

The worst I could do, oh, what would I be

If I kept for mine something better than me?

Oh Virginia, no one can warn you

Oh Virginia, I have tried to

When the winter comes, how the cold moves through

Oh Virginia, no one can warn you
