Bonnie Raitt - Valley Of Pain lyrics

rate me

Ah, don't let me grow bitter I pray<br />

Give me strength to carry on my way<br />

I'm leanin' on you like a wooden cane<br />

<br />

Well, I'm walkin' through, I'm walkin' through<br />

The valley of pain<br />

<br />

I'm believin' there's a reason for this trial<br />

This too shall pass in a little while<br />

Oh, Lord have mercy if I complain<br />

<br />

Well I'm walkin' through, I'm walkin' through<br />

The valley of pain<br />

Yes, I'm walkin' through, I'm walkin' through<br />

The valley of pain<br />

<br />

Paint me in a river of my tears<br />

Whisper hope and truth, courage in my ears<br />

<br />

Well, when I'm hurtin' I have a dangerous tongue<br />

And I lose it and use it like a gun<br />

Oh, wont you stop me if you see me takin' aim?<br />

<br />

Well, I'm walkin through, I'm walkin' through<br />

The valley of pain<br />

If I'm walkin' through, I'm walkin 'through<br />

The valley of pain<br />

Yes, I'm walkin through, I'm walkin through<br />

The valley of pain<br />

<br />

Paint me in a river of my tears<br />

Whisper hope and truth and courage in my ears<br />

Remind me when I reach the other side<br />

I'll be thankful for every tear that I cry<br />

<br />

Ah, don't let me grow bitter I pray<br />

Give me strength to carry on my way<br />

Ah, don't let the darkness drive me insane<br />

<br />

Well, I'm walkin through, I'm walkin through<br />

The valley of pain<br />

If I'm walkin through, I'm walkin through<br />

The valley of pain<br />

Yes, I'm walkin through, I'm walkin through<br />

The valley of pain
