Let it ride, let it ride, let it roll off your mind.
|
Don't say a single world, get back inside.
|
Let me drive, let me drive, disappear in the night,
|
like I was a ghost in your dreams.
|
|
And it was all completely wrong, Virginia.
|
You were much too much for me.
|
I was a boy on the lawn, with his eyes to the sky.
|
You were Garbo, smoke, and deceit.
|
And it was Saturday, September, and fire.
|
It was a backdrop set in your smile.
|
It was all I could want in the sway of the song,
|
I was haunted for so many years.
|
|
Let it ride, let it ride, let it roll off your mind.
|
Don't say a single world, get back inside.
|
Let me drive, let me drive, disappear in the night,
|
like I was a ghost in your dreams.
|
Say goodbye, say goodbye, give a kiss and a sigh.
|
Never, never, never bring me back to your mind.
|
Let me slide, let me slide, roll off your mind,
|
like I was a movie you'd seen.
|
|
And it was all just a crime, Virginia, let your fire be mercy to me.
|
I was a boy in your arms, safe in your arms,
|
and you swore like a promise to me.
|
That I would never, never, never leave your heart.
|
No I would never, never, never leave your heart.
|
But where are you now, I can still feel you now,
|
and I hear all your songs in the breeze.
