House In Virginia Lyrics - Brendan Benson

House in Virginia 

We'd love to see you, Emma 

Red velvet chairs for you to sit on, Emma 

Blue cobalt teacups every shape, every size 

Your favorite designs 

White flawed enamel pots 

And a place on the shelf for everything you've got 

When are you coming to stay? 

Say that you'll never go away 

Porch swings and everything 

Your favorite pets, they're everywhere 

Willow trees and a cool breeze 

Lemonade, freshly squeezed 

Sun-thickened linseed oil 

Is studio equipped for brooding 

Alcohol and turpentine 

Somehow you find it soothing 

She stands at the full length 

Admiring herself in her grandmother's hat 

She says, when she gets her strength 

She's flying away and she's never coming back 

I am done, I am done, I am done, I'm undone
