In a green hollow
|
Where a river sings
|
Tiny valley
|
Bluebells ring
|
|
There's a young soldier
|
Under the cloud
|
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
|
Labor this night
|
The blue water cries
|
|
He's just a kid
|
And he never knew
|
He would be a 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
|
Now the crows they swoon
|
At the two red holes
|
In his right side, oh
|
In his right side, oh
|
|

Sleeper in the Valley
