Rocks And Virgins

Lyrics by Kristen Bailey

I woke up
in the arms of a very old man
I didn't know who he was
Or how I got there
But he knew me and he told me he loved me
and he gave me a red leather book
and told me if I wanted him
to look around on Pike or Pine Street
When he disappeared
I opened the book
and inside were twenty letters
that I'd written him
And at the back of the book
were rare rocks and gems
and virgins carved from stone
I sold the rocks
but I kept the virgins
