Virginia Wolf Songtext / Lyric

Some will strut and some will fret

See this an hour on this stage

Others will not but they'll sweat

In their hopelessness in their rage

We're all the same

The men of anger

And the women of the page



They published your diary

And that's how I got to know you

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

my life will come my life will go

Still I feel it's all right

'Cause I just got a letter to my soul

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

Thunderclouds rolled and the critics stormed

Battles surrounded the white flag of your youth

But 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 it's all right

Your life will come your life will go

Still you feel it's all right

Someone will get a letter to your soul

When your whole life was 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

Is dark in a pocket of truth

The moon has swallowed the sun and the light of the earth

And so it was for you when the river eclipsed your life

But sent your soul like a message in a bottle to me

And it was my rebirth

So we know we're all right

Life will come and life will go

Still you'll feel it's all right

Someone'll get a message to your soul

(And then you'll know you're all right)

And when my life is on the tip of my tongue

(Then you'll feel you're all right)

Empty pages for the no longer young

(The you'll feel it's all right, and it's all right)

You said each life has its place

(The you'll feel it's all right, and it's all right)

And you said each life has its place

And it's all right
