Virginia Songtext
von Adam Barnes

Take me down to the riverside
Just to swim with the reeds
Claw out my blooded eyes
I need to wash out my sins
I have been a better man
Just not today it seems
A question needs no answer back
I twist your words ′til you find
That no man under an attack
Won't defend his own life
I will turn on every word
That you ever said

She′s pulling me, she's pulling me
Weights are wrenching me down
She's washing me, she′s washing me clean


Excuse me, sir, but I′ll let you catch
The only bird that you saw
The way it stopped even the match
So you just grabbed at its claw
It pierced you right through the skin
So you wrung out its neck
And are you proud you caught a thief
Who took life from you once?
And are you sure what lies beneath
The only thing you've done wrong?
You′re still a coward now
And that will never change

She's pulling me, she′s pulling me
Weights are wrenching me down
Don't follow me in
She′s washing me, she's washing me clean, no
You're still a coward now, you′re still a coward now
The kill wasn′t worth the thought
Don't follow me in
That will never change, that will never change

She came at me with an honest love
She came at me with her life
She wasn′t strong enough to fight
The silent thrust of the knife
That pierced her right through the skin
Could finally get out


She's pulling me, she′s pulling me
Weights are wrenching me down
She's washing me, she′s washing me clean
She's pulling me, she's pulling me
Weights are wrenching me down
Don′t follow me in
She′s washing me, she's washing me clean, no
You′re still a coward now, you're still a coward now
The kill wasn′t worth the thought
Don't follow me in
That will never change, that will never change
