olivia ellen lloyd - in the valley lyrics

[verse 1]
i live at the foot of a mountain
of things other folks threw away
and my husband, he weren’t such a good man
when he left, i didn’t have much to say
at night, you can hear the dogs barking
up the hill, the street lamps look like stars
far safer than down in the valley
heaven’s always just past where you are

[chorus]
won’t you sing it one more time now
that old song i once knew so well
like our mamas used to murmur
when we had no cares at all
close your eyes to remember
wherе the hill meets the endlеss sky
that home we were meant to grow up in
where we saw ma and daddy die

[verse 2]
we arrived, i worked in a factory
though i didn’t speak the language well
i’d walk miles for that job in all weather
you miss the rain when it’s hotter than h+ll
fall asleep as the wind whistles by me
through the cracks in the roof of our home
dream that wind lifts me out of this valley
but i can’t leave my children alone
[chorus]
won’t you sing it one more time now
that old song i once knew so well
like our mamas used to murmur
when we had no cares at all
close your eyes to remember
where the hill meets the endless sky
that home we were meant to grow up in
where we saw ma and daddy die

[instrumental break]

[verse 3]
sometimes it feels like i can’t take it
living low to the ground, we can’t leave
and that fire won’t ever stop burning
in the air that my kids have to breathe
but every day, i climb up on the mountain
for a chance just to work in the town
maybe someday, they’ll burn down the mountain
and that way, i won’t have to climb down

[chorus]
won’t you sing it one more time now
that old song i once knew so well
like our mamas used to murmur
when we had no cares at all
close your eyes to remember
where the hill meets the endless sky
that home we were meant to grow up in
where we saw ma and daddy die
