Virginia Reel Lyrics - Singles - Kevin Mcwha Steele

You're a teacher for the holy fool 

Sleeping on your bed of rusty nails 

You practice the pain like it's a sacred tool 

And then you tie your ankles to the rails 

You say you're waiting for that train to run you through 

And take you clear on up to the sky 

Say you've taught me all you could and couldn't do 

And now it's time for us to say goodbye 

The cicadas wait outside your door 

With Pericles dressed in red 

Says he'd rather see you try to live 

Instead of playing at being dead 

Just look at all the arabesques that you have born 

You're Martha Graham's favorite part 

We can laugh it off and dance until we're torn 

But, not until you decide to start 

Chorus: 

Virginia Reel, so good to feel 

The Virginia Reel, as we do the peel, 

Virginia Reel 

I'll be your Grays Harbor, if you're my devilfish for a year 

But you're on the wrong side of the states 

So come back home and please let go of all that fear 

Up that country road through the gates 

I know you so well that my heart begins to burn 

Every time I think about your smile 

Move with me now as we go into the turn 

Remember how it feels to step with style 

Chorus: 

Virginia Reel, so good to feel 

The Virginia Reel, as we do the peel, 

Virginia Reel 

I know you so well that my heart begins to burn 

Every time I think about your smile 

Move with me now as we go into the turn 

Remember how it feels to step with style 

Chorus: 

The Virginia Reel, so good to feel 

The Virginia Reel, as we do the peel, 

Virginia Reel
