lyrics

I met her down beneath the stairs,
in the town of Blueridge, Virginia,
her diamond eyes seeped through the air,
and her name, it was Melissa.
She said she's been waiting for a sudden change,
like the wind of '69,
she read me a poem, and turning the pages
I knew she must be mine.

I can feel the pain seep through my brain,
when the North Virginia line is on my mind,
and slippin' in the rain.

I raise the flag at break of dawn,
fold it neat before I sleep.
Soon you'll look and I'll be gone
with nothing for to keep.
She writes to me from time to time,
tells me of her troubles,
my vision will remain benign
and keep from seeing double.

I can feel the pain seep through my brain,
when the North Virginia line is on my mind,
and slippin' in the rain.

The silence of Virginia plains,
sing lullabies in reverence,
I must be off to break the chains,
to face my final sentence.
Time and time again I hear
each underdog lay weeping,
once again I face the fear
of dying while I'm sleeping.

I can feel the pain seep through my brain,
when the North Virginia line is on my mind,
and slippin' in the rain.
