Lyrics Deep in the Valley - Past Lives

Deep in the Valley

Deep in the valley
Deep in the daydream
Can’t find your way?
Turn back the way you came
Like a fistful of sand into the breeze, sewing up the sky, polishing the sea
From your fingertips down to your feet
Hold out your hands--beg now plead
Into the valley low
Into the winter cold
When you were young you felt so bold
A long lifetime ago
Into the darkened years
Your shadow disappears
The path back home was overgrown
A long lifetime ago
Deep in the blank gaze
Deep in the sunrise
In the morning light you don’t look so certain now
The future came and went in a limousine
You’re standing in the stench of gasoline
From your fingertips down to your feet
Hold out your hands--beg now plead
Into the valley low
Into the winter cold
When you were young you felt so bold
A long lifetime ago
Into the darkened years
Your shadow disappears
The path back home was overgrown
A long lifetime ago
