Peace in the Valley Songtext
von Dawes

I think these walls have a message or have changed
Which it is I can′t decide
So I leave with the writer that remains
And let him tell me what his better days were like

And I sit with the memory of kings
With only words to criticize
As if I finally found the antidote for pain
Without knowing what that's really like


And our actor ends his love song
And all these lovers sit and stare
If I don′t find peace in the valley
It's cause there wasn't any there

I will move somewhere the ocean′s never seen
Somewhere weeds just make their claim
Where my best friends exist only on screen
Where my love all fits in frame

But I want fire tumbling out into the night
I want you to know why you hold me close
Pull the quarter from my ear, or say you tried
I need magic or the holy ghost


And as I drive on through these canyons
I′m still feeling like a crook
If I don't find peace in the valley
I′ve got no place else to look
