The Valleys - Electrelane
Written By:Verity Susman/Mia Clarke/Rachel Dalley/Emma Gaze/Siegfried Sassoon
I heard it from the valleys
I heard it ringing in the mountains
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
I heard it from the valleys
I heard him singing in the mountains
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Robert when I drowse to-night
Skirting lawns of sleep to chase
Shifting dreams in mazy light
Somewhere then I'll see your face
Turning back to bid me follow
Where I wag my arms and hollow
Over hedges hasting after
Crooked smile and baffling laughter
We know such dreams are true
He's come back all mirth and glory
Like the prince in a fairy story
Winter called him far away
Blossoms bring him home with May
Now he's here again
Standing in a wood that swings
Now he's here again
Standing in a wood that swings
To the madrigal he sings
And I'm sure as here I stand
That he shines through every land
That he sings in every place
Where we're thinking of his face
While we know such dreams are true
