Lyrics

There’s an echo from the tunnel hidden up the road
A ringin’ in my ears left by the wind and cold
There’s no return address, it’s not from her to me
The pen strokes remind me of a girl
Wanderin’ in the valley

She’s staring out her window at the sunrise up ahead
She’ll paint the linen clouds from the comfort of her bed
And set ‘em in the sky, to send ‘em back out east
Just a reminder from the girl
Wanderin’ in the valley

Her raven fled the churchyard when the winds fell from the east
She lies awake at night counting cars down in the street
And the twisted oak beside her yard says a prayer for me
Make it home safely to the girl
Wanderin’ in the valley
