Original lyrics

EN

I can fix your father’s chair up for you I can paint the hallway in a day I can drop the subject if you want to I know how late is too late Here I stand beside you in the market Here I carry water to the bed Here I make love with you like a prophet To empty the thoughts in your head You are the light of my home You are the mother of my children You are my calm and my wild You are my everything You are the birds of Virginia You have a universe in you A flash of bright in my winter You are the birds of Virginia One step at a time, love Every day before me is a God You can bury your face in my shirt I won’t drop you, I won’t drop you You’re so kind to me sometimes it hurts
