Deep in the Valley - Past Lives

Deep in the valley

Deep in the daydream

Can’t find your way?

Turn back the way you came

Like a fistful of sand into the breeze, sewing up the sky, polishing the sea

From your fingertips down to your feet

Hold out your hands--beg now plead

Into the valley low

Into the winter cold

When you were young you felt so bold

A long lifetime ago

Into the darkened years

Your shadow disappears

The path back home was overgrown

A long lifetime ago

Deep in the blank gaze

Deep in the sunrise

In the morning light you don’t look so certain now

The future came and went in a limousine

You’re standing in the stench of gasoline

From your fingertips down to your feet

Hold out your hands--beg now plead

Into the valley low

Into the winter cold

When you were young you felt so bold

A long lifetime ago

Into the darkened years

Your shadow disappears

The path back home was overgrown

A long lifetime ago
