Virginia Wing
Pale Burnt Lake
No autumn bloom or summer snow
No secrets passed in envelopes
No streetlight glare or hardwood floors
To lie on when there's no more chairs
No offers proposed that end up cold
No half-baked program just for show

White pines
Pale burnt lake
Just one full day and one perfect thought
To begin again like nothing came before

No more aspirin for a quick relief
No carrier bags for discount needs
No more lessons taught to avoid reform
No more history made with old mistakes
No working weeks that pass like rain
Or holidays that don't compensate

White pines
Pale burnt lake
Just one full day, one perfect thought
To begin again like nothing came before
Just one full day and one perfect thought
To begin again like nothing came before
Bright yellow light and cloudless skies
Uncancel the future and
Welcome July
And after that, tomorrow
Say your blessings now and be glad
You have arrived
