The Virgin Lyrics

She went off to the city

E B

To find what she was looking for

B C#m

To identify, to really try

E B

To find herself some hope

B C#m

With the summer sun for laughing

E

And the winter rain did pour

B C#m

She was lovelier from learning

E B

And from living, loving more

B C#m

From her dancing love and young soul

E B

And the gypsies in her dream

B C#m

To the pulse of stark acceptance

E B

When the winds began to freeze

C#m

With no curfews left to hold her

C#m E

And no walls to shield her pain

B C#m

Finding out that facts were older

E B

And that life forms are insane.

B C#m

The presence of protection seemed

E B

To fade, as did her doubt

C#m

That she now was no exception

E B

Nor was the love who pushed her out



Though the streets cried out,

C#m

Go, homesick

C#m E

Virtues strength of mind would ring

B C#m

In the maladies of meaning

E B

The sad song she learned to sing.

B C#m

Now, her teachers and philosophers

E B

And the poet`s silver throat

C#m E B

Are the vessels which on wisdom`s karmic ocean

she will float.

C#m

Was this her revolution,

E

Just a child in love`s crusade,

B C#m

With the question in her innocence

E B

Through the lies her eyes betrayed?
