electrelane - the valleys lyrics

i heard it from the valleys
i heard it ringing in the mountains
ah ah ah ah ah ah ah

i heard it from the valleys
i heard him singing in the mountains
ah ah ah ah ah ah ah

robert, when i drowse to-night
skirting lawns of sleep to chase
shifting dreams in mazy light
somewhere then i’ll see your face
turning back to bid me follow
where i wag my arms and hollow
over hedges hasting after
crooked smile and baffling laughter
we know such dreams are true

he’s come back, all mirth and glory
-running tireless, floating, leaping
-down your web-hung woods and valleys
-where the glowworm stars are peeping
like the prince in a fairy story
-till i find you, quiet as stone
-on a hill-top all alone
-staring outward, gravely pondering
-jumbled leagues of hillock-wandering
winter called him far away
-you and i have walked together
-in the starving winter weather
-we’ve been glad because we knew
-time’s too short and friends are few
blossoms bring him home with may
-we’ve been sad because we missed
-one whose yellow head was kissed
-by the gods, who thought about him
-till they couldn’t do without him

now he’s here again
standing in a wood that swings
to the madrigal he sings
and i’m sure, as here i stand,
that he shines through every land
that he sings in every place
where we’re thinking of his face

while we know such dreams are true
