lyrics

There’s a sweet Virginia dogwood growing up in Brooklyn town
Oh, my sweet Virginia dogwood, her roots are set in Brooklyn town
And I’ve gotta get back and see her before the city chops her down
She fancies herself a poet and I tell her all the time she’s right
Oh, she fancies herself a poet and you ought to read those words that she writes
But, goddammit, she’s a poet and all the poets have lost their minds
Noel, I know we ain’t lovers but there are sometimes I think we ought to be
Oh, Noel, I know we ain’t lovers but there’s something there and I think we ought to be
For if you could keep my heart honest then I believe you just might find some cover under me
So tonight we’re making plans to get as high as the rent she pays
Oh, tonight we’re making plans and we’re gonna get as high as the rent she pays
We’re gonna keep each other up all night; whatever it takes to keep those wicked blues away
