You get under my skin like a splinter
You know your fingertips could ruin me
You make me shiver like the dead of winter
You push me up from the bottom of the sea
And now I'm shriveled up inside my sins
What once was new is now worn in
I'm traveling down this road alone
My only friend's a skipping stone
My only friend's a skipping stone
Take this burden from my mind
Replace it with a jar of wine
Wrap it up in sheets of white
And toss it far into the night
Into the night
Virginia's never been so cold
The air is biting at my tongue
The birds have put away their song
The mountains never seemed so small
The mountains never seemed so small
Take this burden from my mind
Replace it with a jar of wine
Wrap it up in sheets of white
And toss it far into the night
Into the night
I'm swinging, swinging through the days
There are pictures passing by my gaze
I'm breathing, breathing audibly
But I don't hear a sound coming from me
I don't hear a sound coming from me
Take this burden from my mind
Replace it with a jar of wine
Wrap it up in sheets of white
And toss it far into the night
Into the night
