Lyrics Laura Veirs

Laura Veirs

Sleeper In the Valley

In a green hollow

Where a river sings

Tiny valley

Blue bells rings

There's a young soldier

Under the clouds

His mouth is open

And the light rains down

And the light rains down

And the crows come 'round

To the two red holes

In his right side, oh

In his right side, oh

Sleeping in the sun

His hand on his breast

Nape of his neck

The blue watercress

He's just a kid

And he never knew

He would be

The sleeper in the valley so soon

So soon, so soon

And the crows, they swoon

At the two red holes

In his right side, oh

So soon, so soon

And the crows, they swoon

At the two red holes

In his right side, oh

In his right side
