Virginia Woolf (Live) Song Lyrics
Virginia Woolf (Live) by Indigo Girls Some will strut and some will fret, see this, an hour on the stage
Others will not but they'll sweat in their hopelessness and their rage
We're all the same, the men of anger and the women of the page
They published your diary and that's how I got to know you
The key to the room of your own and a mind without end
And here's a young girl on a kind of a telephone line through time
And the voice at the other end comes like a long lost friend
And so I know I'm all right though life will come and life will go
Still I feel it's all right 'cause I just got a letter to my soul
And when my whole life is on the tip of my tongue
Empty pages for the no longer young
The apathy of time laughs in my face
You say, "Each life has its place", yeah
The hatches were battened
The thunderclouds rolled and the critics stormed
The battle surrounded the white flag of your youth
But if you need to know that you weathered the storm of cruel mortality
And well a hundred years later I'm sitting here living proof
And so you know you're all right
(Life will come and go)
Life will come and life will go
Still you'll feel it's all right
(Someone gets your soul)
Someone'll get a letter to your soul
When your whole life is on the tip of your tongue
Empty pages for the no longer young
The apathy of time laughed in your face
Did you hear me say, "Each life has its place"
Everyone of us
The place where you hold me is dark in a pocket of truth
The moon has swallowed the sun and the light of the earth
And so it was for you when the river eclipsed your life
And sent your soul like a message in a bottle to me
And it was my rebirth
We know we're all right
Though life will come and life will go
Still you'll feel it's all right
(Someone gets your soul)
Just one time someone gets a letter that goes straight to your soul
(When your whole life is on the tip of my tongue)
You know you're all right
(Empty pages for the no longer young)
Then you feel it's all right
(And you said)
Rather say, "It's all right"
(Each life has its place)
Then it's all right
(And you said)
[Incomprehensible] your eyes
(Each life has its place)
And it's all right
And it's all right
(Right)
