Valerie is sleeping
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.
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 thenÃ,Â-
Chorus repeat
Repeat this stanza 4x:
Valerie is gone now
Valerie is sleeping
Valerie is sleeping now...
