Genesis - Me And Virgil Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Ma would never say what happened
  • And we knew better than push too hard
  • We knew we had all the chores to tend to
  • Like fixing fences and helping her
  • Washing dishes and making coffee
  • Me and Virgil would chop some wood
  • But we'd stop our swinging
  • Just to listen to her crying
  • It didn't sound too good
  • I can remember too well
  • But we never thought to pay much heed
  • We learned to live life the best we could
  • But then one day pa up and left us
  • High and dry without a word
  • Seemed a pity
  • My ma was pretty
  • But I soon learned life ain't that way
  • And I can remember hearing her weeping
  • While we were sleeping next to her
  • I can remember
  • I'll never forgive and I'll never forget
  • 'Cos pa you broke her heart
  • Oh pa you broke her heart
  • You broke her heart
  • Oh pa you broke her heart
  • Well the years rolled by
  • And 'fore we knew it
  • Our sister got married and moved out west
  • I stayed with ma 'cos I couldn't desert her
  • I knew it would hurt her to be alone
  • So we pulled tighter
  • Said we'd try to make things easy
  • And raise a smile
  • But as the night came
  • We'd hear her crying
  • Praying for pa to come back again
  • I can remember
  • I'll never forgive him and I'll never forget
  • 'Cos pa you broke her heart
  • Oh pa you broke her heart
  • And then the winter came
  • I'd never known it colder
  • Oh it seemed the worst in years
  • And the night she died I swear I saw her smiling
  • Saying I was a big boy now no tears
  • So I packed up all we had and Virgil got the horses
  • And we paid our last respects and gave the whip a crack
  • Oh it seemed a big bad world we were riding into
  • Me and Virgil both agreed
  • We best head off and don't look back
  • Nothing but desert all around
  • Oh it made me wonder
  • Lord it's hard to carry on
  • When you're sick with hunger
  • Weeks and months of sleeping rough
  • Keeping clear of danger
  • Seems million miles from anywhere
  • I prayed to my God to change it
  • You'd best keep your head but don't look back
  • Well me and Virgil we beat the desert
  • Riding fast and riding hard
  • We hit the city the past behind us
  • And we raised some hell we had some fun
  • But real soon I met a lady oh so pretty
  • And oh so fine
  • And 'fore too long I found myself married
  • With a home of my own and a blue eyed son
  • And 'til this day I can hear ma saying to me
  • You're a big boy now
