I Don't Wanna' Die Alone was one of the first songs included on Virginia's first fully self-produced album, The Story of..., vol. 2 of her Hush Underground Collection. It is now being made available as part of this UpSound From the Underground release, which can be considered somewhat of a "Best of" album, including Virginia's top picks among her most upbeat, original tunes.
lyrics
I Don’t Wanna’ Die Alone
I don't come here and expect to find,
Anything more than a piece of mind.
If I can't go home,
'Cause I don't wanna' die alone.
It's hard enough to watch the walls,
And have the nerve to screen my calls.
I can't stay here,
But I don't know where to go.
It was you who kept me safe from harm,
And you who held me all night long,
But now you're gone,
And I don't know where to go.
I don't come here to hide from pain,
Maybe I hope that they'll wash away.
There's something in the tide tonight,
That's saying it'll be alright.
But if I can't find God,
Am I gonna' die alone.
It was here, I sensed the worlds collide,
And wash away my pain with the tide.
If I can't find God,
Am I gonna' die alone?
If I can't find God,
Am I gonna, die alone?
Am I gonna' die alone?
It's hard enough to watch the walls,
And have the nerve to screen my calls.
If I can't find God,
Am I gonna' die alone?
And I don't come here and expect to find,
Anything more than a piece of mind?
If I can't find God,
Am I gonna' die alone?
It was you who kept me safe and warm.
And you who held me all night long,
It was here, I sensed the worlds collide,
And wash away my pain with the tide.
Now you're gone and I don't know where to,
If I can't find God, am I gonna die alone?
