Garden Valley |
This is really not my home |
Oh where are you my lovely Jenny? |
I’m afraid and all alone |
There is no peace for me |
And I’m sitting in the stranger’s room |
Playing at the stranger’s table |
Shining empty like the moon |
There is no peace for me |
But in the darkness struggle cold |
I think about a garden valley |
Gentle as the leaves unfold |
Singing out along the Tay |
Distant and so far away |
There is no peace for me |
I’m blinded by your city lights |
I wander through these fearful places |
The colours fade to black and white |
There is no peace for me |
And these are not the friends I know |
These are not their smiling faces |
A desert that no-one should know |
There is no peace for me |
But in the darkness struggle cold |
I think about a garden valley |
Gentle as the leaves unfold |
Singing out along the Tay |
Distant and so far away |
There is no peace for me |
Now I know and feel it well |
Poor immigrants' deep sunken feeling |
Standing at the gates of Hell |
There is no peace for me |
Burned out by their master’s greed |
Cruel exile transportation |
Robbed of every love and need |
There is no peace for me |
But in the darkness struggle cold |
I think about a garden valley |
Gentle as the leaves unfold |
Singing out along the Tay |
Distant and so far away |
There is no peace for me |
