Stan Ridgway - Valerie is sleeping lyrics

rate me

Watch the planes take off and touch the clouds

Thinkin' I'm in a mess, in trouble now

Buried her in a hole last night

Underneath a tree

Chorus:

My life went wrong

When I met Valerie

My life went wrong

When I met Valerie

One night we walked into a field

Behind the trailer park she kneeled

The moon was hangin' like a mask

I lost my temper for the last time then—

Chorus repeat

Repeat this stanza 4x:

Valerie is gone now

Valerie is sleeping

Valerie is sleeping now...
