John Cale - Song Of The Valley lyrics

rate me

I roamed the world for love and glory

Full-time ambassador of mirth

I never thought that I'd be sorry

To squander most of my true worth

The sun beats down on the valley

The waves crash on the shore

I was a soldier of the alley

I cannot fight there anymore

So now I just wait for the hour

Lips parted like a kiss

I just assume there is a power

Who can deliver me from this

The sun beats down on the valley

The waves crash on the shore

I was a soldier of the alley

I cannot fight there anymore

They say that love is like a flower

That bows so graceful to the light

But I've seen most true love go sour

Then blossom in the dead of night

I can't be certain of the hour

Or who will bear that final kiss

I must assume there is a power

Who can deliver me from this

The sun beats down on the valley

The waves crash on the shore

I was a soldier of the alley

I cannot fight there anymore

To roam the world for love and glory

To roam the world at all

Who would have thought that I'd be sorry

To squander it all

The sun beats down on the valley

The waves push up against the shore

I was a soldier on the alley

I cannot fight there anymore
