lyrics

Walking down to Fort Lee, Virginia
On the Fourth of July
They're playing Guns n Roses as
Smoke fills the sky
And looking over the fence
They go marching by
Hot night in Fort Lee, Virginia
Where they learn to fight

Bittersweet Virginia
You were always bittersweet
So goddamn bittersweet
You were always bittersweet
And it's not for me, and it's not for you
No it's not for me, and it's not for you

Inside Fort Lee, Virginia
On the Fourth of July
They set the sky on fire
Over top of the rise
And this is all for you as long as
You don't change your mind
But sure as the grass grows green
They'll send you to fight

Bitter Virginia
Why d'you gotta be bitter now
So goddamn bitter
And you can't make a sound
And it's not for you, can you hear me
Cause you'll change your mind
In a year or two
As you open your eyes
You'll change your mind

Sweet, oh sweet Virginia
Sweet, oh sweet Virginia
And she belongs to me and she belongs to you
She belongs to me, and she belongs to you

about

The Eiders Oakland, California

The Eiders are an indie folk-rock band founded and fronted by vocalist and multi-instrumentalist, Rosa del Duca. Originally, the group was formed as a back-up band for del Duca's solo album, but as the pieces came together, we formed, and continue to refine, our own sound.

Currently we're gigging and writing material in preparation for a full-length release, tentatively scheduled for late 2012.
