There Is a Valley Lyrics


There is a valley where the tree stand tall and an icy wind blows
Trees don't speak, but they speak to each other
Of the people long ago.
When the soldiers came and took away the villages one by one
And the fury of that moment they felt
But could only silently look above.
There is a mansion sideways where sheep are crazy...
Sheep don't speak, but they speak to each other
Of a killing long ago
When the people came and sacrificed their children to the sunbut could only silently look above
There is a hill near Jerusalem that wild flowers grow upon
Flowers don't speak, but they speak to each other of a crucifixion
Guess because he said he was the son of God
And the fury of the moment they felt they could only silently look upon
Every city above you all, every..., every bullet from a gun
It's written in the palms, in the palms of the Holy One
Every city above you all, every..., every bullet from a gun
It's written in the palms, in the palms of the Holy One

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Bill Fay is a singer-songwriter and pianist from London. Fay began writing songs in the early 1960s while attending university and in 1966 cut a demo using a mobile studio belonging to a man named John Boden. Impressed by the demo, ex-Them drummer Terry Noon helped Bill to sign a recording contract with Decca. In 1967 the label released the single "Some Good Advice"/"Screams In The Ears", produced by early Donovan co-manager Peter Eden. The single "introduced [Fay's] characteristic downbeat melodies and scrambled impressionistic lyrics", according to allmusic reviewer Richie Unterberger.
