House In Virginia

(Benson/Falkner)
House in Virginia
We 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 youve got
When are you coming to stay?
Say that youll never go away
Porch swings and everything
Your favorite pets, theyre 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 ( chorus)
She stands at the full length
Admiring herself in her grandmothers hat
She says, when she gets her strength
Shes flying away and shes never coming back
