Virginia Woolf Lyrics by Indigo Girls

Virginia Woolf Lyrics

    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 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
    So i know i'm all right
    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"

    The hatches were battened
    The thunderclouds rolled and the critics stormed
    The battle surrounded the white flag of your youth
    If you need to know that you weathered the storm
    Of cruel mortality
    A hundred years later i'm sitting here living proof
    So you know you're all right
    (all right)
    Life will come and life will go
    (life will come and go)
    Still you'll feel it's all right
    (all right)
    Someone'll get a letter to your soul
    (someone gets 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"

    The place where you hold me
    Dark in a pocket of truth
    The moon had 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
    So we know we're all right
    (all right)
    Though life will come and life will go
    (though life will come and life will go)
    Still you'll feel it's all right
    (all right)
    Someone'll will get a letter to your soul
    (someone gets your soul)
    Then you know you're all right
    (when my whole life is on the tip of my tongue)
    Then you feel you're all right
    (empty pages for the no longer young)
    And your hear dry you eyes
    (you said)
    And you know it's all right
    (each life has it's place)
    And your hear dry your eyes
    (you said)
    And you know it's all right
    (each life has it's place)
    And it's all right
    (it'll be all right)
