From the recording Into Beautiful Blue

Lyrics

HERE IN THE VALLEY

What would you change in the middle of the conversation
Life rearranged but it's you that’s standing still
What now remains from the tidal wave of liberation
No hanging round, dry but drowned, fumbling for the truth

Boys and girls [ open your eyes]
Your turn now [ step into the light ]
We had the stars but who had the time
Here in the valley

Almost seems [that things are alright]
In between [the day and the night]
A late arrival down deep inside
Here in the valley

Hard is the faith when every minute is an ocean
Rules without games and then you disappear
All the saints and angels disregard your wishes
Sunday soldiers getting bolder and then they come for you

Boys and girls [ open your eyes]
Your turn now [ step into the light ]
We had the stars but who had the time
Here in the valley

Almost seems [that things are alright]
In between [the day and the night]
A late arrival down deep inside
Here in the valley

Son above all, King of I am
Down for last call as fast as you can
All delusions that only cloud your mind

Holy ghost knows mote in your eye
Lost your last war but big boys don’t cry
And we wondered if you always knew

When he arrives do you kill him with your strong devotion
Your innocent vow as the final curtain falls
Tearing the sun from the sky in all its ragged glory
Cloud nine story of power and fury and this is what you choose

Boys and girls [ open your eyes]
Your turn now [ step into the light ]
We had the stars but who had the time
Here in the valley

Almost seems [that things are alright]
In between [the day and the night]
A late arrival down deep inside
Here in the valley
