Virginia Moon Lyrics
Dearest constellation
Heaven surroundin' you
Stay there, soft and blue
Virginia moon, I'll wait for you tonight
[Verse 2]
Sweetest invitation
Breakin' the day in two
Feelin' like I do
Virginia moon, I'll wait for you tonight
[Chorus]
And now our shades become shadows in your light
In the morning wind we're through
And tomorrow rescues you, I will say
Goodnight
[Verse 3]
Secret fascination
Whisper a quiet tune
Hear me callin' you
Virginia moon, I'll wait for you tonight
[Chorus]
And now our shades become shadows in your light
In the morning wind we're through
And tomorrow rescues you, I will say
Goodnight
[Bridge]
Virginia moon, I'll wait for you tonight
[Chorus]
And now our shades become shadows in your light
In the morning wind we're through
And tomorrow rescues you, I will say
Goodnight
[Outro]
I will say goodnight
I will say goodnight
About
Contemporary pop artist Norah Jones collaborated on piano and vocals on this track. She had a little something to say about her involvement:
“I’ve been a fan of Dave Grohl’s for a long time. He called me and I thought, ‘Am I finally gonna get to rock?’ When he sent me the track it was this beautiful bossa nova ballad so it made sense that he called me – but I wasn’t going to get to rock after all. The song has a complex chord progression and it took me a minute to fish around for the right harmony, but we found it together.”

“She was unbelievable. Perfect pitch, perfect time, perfect placement, perfect playing. We were absolutely stunned. She did two takes and that was it. In and out in an hour and a half. And she was sweet as sugar, man. Unassuming, modest and a good hang.”
