Let it ride, let it ride, let it roll off your mind. Don't say a single world, get back inside. Let me drive, let me drive, disappear in the night, like I was a ghost in your dreams.
And it was all completely wrong, Virginia. You were much too much for me. I was a boy on the lawn, with his eyes to the sky. You were Garbo, smoke, and deceit. And it was Saturday, September, and fire. It was a backdrop set in your smile. It was all I could want in the sway of the song, I was haunted for so many years.
Let it ride, let it ride, let it roll off your mind. Don't say a single world, get back inside. Let me drive, let me drive, disappear in the night, like I was a ghost in your dreams. Say goodbye, say goodbye, give a kiss and a sigh. Never, never, never bring me back to your mind. Let me slide, let me slide, roll off your mind, like I was a movie you'd seen.
And it was all just a crime, Virginia, let your fire be mercy to me. I was a boy in your arms, safe in your arms, and you swore like a promise to me. That I would never, never, never leave your heart. No I would never, never, never leave your heart. But where are you now, I can still feel you now, and I hear all your songs in the breeze.
