Lyrics
The Valley
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm in the open now, there's nothing
But my mind spinning 'round and 'round
It's throwing me into madness of loudness
Till I can't hear you at all
And not too far away
I know, I'll face mountains and valleys of doubt
Breaks me down every time
For now be still, there are no sounds
Break me, so I'm no longer
Build me, so I am stronger
Please steal me, please fill me
Will we always be?
Will we always be?
Now the time has come, overdone
This time I must know as sure as I can know
And listening to the rumbling of walls
As they come tumbling down, down, down
I may not dare to show you
I might just walk away
Or crawl under another rock, it's so tempting
As you're attempting to reel me in again
Break me, so I'm no longer
Build me, so I am stronger
Please steal me, please fill me
Will we always be?
Here I am with the desert sand in my dead sea eyes
And I can cry all I want and I can die all I want
I'll even lie if that's what you want me to do
There's no one else to rescue me but you
I'm a lost refugee, old flying gypsy dancer
I got to save myself for me
But I'm gonna save myself for you
I always do
Break me, so I'm no longer
Build me, so I am stronger
Please steal me, please fill me
Will we always be?
