Valentine Songtext
von Laura Veirs

Oh, dear Valentine
Before your mind went
You were always fixing
All things broken, all things bent

Jacking up the house
Where the foundation was going
And showing your young son
All the worlds you were, knowing

′Til the voices crowded out your mind
I know you did your best, Valentine


Three kids and a wife
And a job with the State
Until the earth within
Began to crumble and to shake

Around every corner
A lurking danger
In the eyes of a family
You grew to be a stranger

As the voices crowded out your mind
I know you did your best, Valentine
Your kids are doing just fine
Your legacy is life

Valentine
Valentine
Valentine
Valentine
