In the Shadow of the Valley - Don Burnham

We have no future, heaven wasn't made for me We burn ourselves to hell as fast as it can be And I wish that I could be the king Then I'd know that I am not alone Maggots put on shirts, sell each others shit Sometimes I feel so worthless, sometimes I feel discarded I wish that I was good enough Then I'd know that I am not alone Death, it is policeman, death, it is the priest Death is the stereo, death is TV Death is the Tarot, death is an angel Death is our god, killing us all She put the seeds in me Plant this dying tree She's a burning string I'm just the ashes She put the seeds in me Plant this dying tree She's a burning string I'm just the ashes She put the seeds in me Plant this dying tree She's a burning string...

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. 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.

In the valley of the sun I've met my only one While rolling down the lovely desert trail Navy air is on the sky I saw that cuty-pie There she was so sweet and so friendly Her eyes like were the velvet stars That show from up above All i took was just one look I knew that this was really love Now my life has just begun The two of us are one Spending all our days In the valley of the sun

Something done bit me on the back of the neck And I got a strange feelin' ain't seen nothin' yet Well my face is on fire - sweat burnin' my eyes Misery's coming and i'm fixing to die I'll be eatin' humble pie when the sun goes down Pullin' up my pants take a look around I can see 100 miles to the north and south Can't make enough spit just to wet my mouth I'm alone Nobody standin' by me I'm feelin' dry as the breeze Nowhere to fill my canteen My bones are laughing at me You can call me well done Nothin's rusting my guns In the the valley of the sun The river stopped flowin' just a runnin' sand And the devil starts laughin' this is his land Blisters start to bleed up and down my hands Hyde wearin' tough enough for takin' a brand Rats are gettin' hungry and I'm lookin' brown Ground's too hot so I can't sit down Rattlesnakes are twitchin' and a wigglin' away My last drop of water - this is one bad day Navarrone Should of been there by now 'Cuz Texas Pete is in town He's roundin' up all my cows Feel like I'm lettin' him down My horse is dead on the ground She couldn't handle the run In the valley of the sun And I ain't havin' no fun In the the valley of the sun
