Lyrics The Valley Of The Shadow Of Death - The Tossers

The Valley Of The Shadow Of Death

Last night I lay all in my dreams, when a rap
At the door it startled me
And I heard those footsteps on the stairs
And I bade her;
please come in
Come in, come in, my roving friend
Come in and rest awhile
For you’ve been gone so very long
It’s nice to see you smile
Come in, come in, my wandering friend
Accept my welcome home
I hope you can stay a long, long while before you have to go
And she walked across the room to me
And then she sat right down with me
And told me that she had to leave
She could not stay for long
A child he held in his arms, a child that I
Knew well through time, and told me that he had to leave
He had to take him home
Come in, come in, my roving friend
Come in and rest awhile
For you’ve been gone so very long
It’s nice to see you smile
Come in, come in, my wandering friend
Accept my welcome home
I hope you can stay a long, long while before you have to go
She crossed the floor and moved away
And my heart said, «Stop her.
Maker her stay.»
But I just showered myself in tears, for I just let her go
When I awoke I cried and cried
And went to sit by his graveside
And visit the child he left behind
Because he had to go
You must come back to me again
Accept the welcome I extend
I will not let you go this time
If only in my dreams
And yeah, though you walk ever on
May your heart be not weary but strong
And yeah, though you walk ever on
Through the valley of the shadow of death
