Manafon |
There’s a man down in the valley |
Who doesn’t speak in his own tongue |
He bears a grudge againt the English |
The tune to which his songs are sung |
There’s a man down in the valley |
Who is moving back in time |
It’s a physical ascension |
You can watch him as he climbs |
The farmer’s wives are at their windwos |
They’ve seen him wind his way for hours |
They tell the kids to lower their voices |
And pretend that they are out |
There’s a man down in the valley |
Trying to stop time in its tracks |
His boots lie heavy on the grasses |
But it keeps on pushing back |
And his wife, she was a painter |
But now she stains the altar black |
He’s out bird watching on the islands |
And she wishes he’d come back |
There’s a man down in the valley |
And he dreams of moving west |
Of battles raged against the furies |
That might see him at his best |
There’s a man down in the valley |
Don’t know his right foot from his left |
Don’t know his right foot from his left |
