Bill Fay - There is a Valley lyrics

rate me

There is a valley where the trees stand tall and an icy wind blows

Trees don't speak, but they speak to each other

Of a people long ago.

When the soldiers came and took away the villages one by one

And the fury of that moment they felt

But could only silently look upon.

There is a mansion sideways sheep are grazing with their young

Sheep don't speak, but they speak to each other

Of a killing long ago

When the people came and sacrificed their children to the sun

And the fury of that moment they felt,

but could only silently look above

There is a hill near Jerusalem that wild flowers grow upon

Flowers don't speak, but they speak to each other of a crucifixion

Guess because he said he was the son of God

And the fury of that moment they felt they could only silently look upon

Every city pub brawl, every fist fight, every bullet from a gun

It's written in the palms love, the Holy One

Every city pub brawl, every fist fight, every bullet from a gun

It's written upon the palms love, the Holy One
