EAST VIRGINIA
Written by Jay Round
Performed by The Missing Lynx

It's not often anymore
Someone opens up their door without asking
And you can do just what you choose
You can win or you can lose and no one's laughing
You can go and have your friends
You can love and make amends
You can try to find a reason for believing
And the offer given most
Raise your glass and drink a toast
Enjoy life along the coast of east Virginia

Well I came here days ago
So I guess by now you know how I'm feeling
And it's kind of hard to trace
How the cards all fell in place when no one was dealing
And before I'm on my way
I wish I could repay
Just a little of the kindness that was given
But seasons change without a sound
Come the morning I was gone
But my thoughts they still belong to east Virginia

(Instrumental - 1st half of verse)

In an effort to disguise
When a memory fills my eyes
You might see me tip a glance toward the horizon
And let my mind replace
All the wide open space
With the setting and the pace of east Virginia

And let my mind replace
All the wide open space
With the setting and the pace of east Virginia
