lyrics

In The Valley

In the morning we went to see the mountain
in the morning we knew just what to do
it was time to leave the house forever
time to leave all that we knew

It was
in the valley
in the valley
in the valley
below

One by one they left the house forever
one by one they slowly walked away
the only ones left were me and sister Sanna
the only ones left in the house that day

It was
in the valley
in the valley
in the valley
below

Every day I thought they might return
every day I cried tears for two
for Sanna said that she had given up
"I'd save my tears if I were you"

Now she didn't have a reason to cry about it
she did'nt have a reason to care
all last night when asked what she thought about it
she said "you know these things die hard"

It was
in the valley
in the valley
in the valley
below

Now I'm not one for heroes or bravery
I'm not one to rise above the crowd
I'm just content to let this life run out
it's not so bad, all things allowed

It was
in the valley
in the valley
in the valley
below
