Sweet Virginia - The Rolling Stones

In sixteen hundred seven We sail the open sea For glory, God, and gold And The Virginia Company For the New World is like heaven And we'll all be rich and free Or so we have been told By The Virginia Company For glory, God and gold And The Virginia Company On the beaches of Virginny There's diamonds like debris There's silver rivers flow And gold you pick right off a tree With a nugget for my Winnie And another one for me And all the rest'll go To The Virginia Company It's glory, God and gold And The Virginia Company

Home is where your heart is forever yearning Hope bears the scars you're forever learning It's been years since you went away Not so far away You disappeared like my voice Amongst the crashing waves I call out and call out The gaslight is fading Where are you now? The light is out Give me something I can dream about Cause come the middle of the night When the restless go away There's never a goodbye Only heartache when you wake And I don't know How much more to take I've never missed you more Please come home Come home, Virginia Please write and tell us how you are Are you happy? Steal your eyes, for a second Be a part of a dying memory Be a sight for a mother's failing heart Make a wish come true Be a sight for sore eyes Still I call out and call out The gaslight is fading Where are you now? The light's out Give me something I can dream about Cause come the middle of the night When the restless go away There's never a goodbye Only heartache when you wake And I don't know How much more to take I've never missed you more So glad you're home Home, Virginia

When the wind blows and the rain feels cold With a head full of snow, with a head full of snow In the window, there's a face you know Don't the nights pass slow, don't the nights pass slow The sound of strangers sending nothing to my mind Just another mad, mad day on the road I am just living to be lying by your side But I'm just about a moonlight mile on down the road Made a rag pile of my shiny clothes Gonna warm my bones, gonna warm my bones I got silence on my radio Let the air waves flow, let the air waves flow Oh, I'm sleeping under strange, strange skies Just another mad, mad day on the road My dreams is fading down the railway line I'm just about a moonlight mile down the road Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah I'm hiding, sister, and I'm dreaming I'm riding down your moonlight mile I'm hiding, baby, and I'm dreaming I'm riding down your moonlight mile I'm riding down your moonlight mile Let it go now, come on up, babe Yeah, let it go now Yeah, flow now, baby Yeah, home now, yeah Yeah, I'm coming home 'Cause I'm just about a moonlight mile on down the road Down the road, down the road, yeah Yeah-yeah-yeah, baby
