Thirteen Valleys Lyrics - Big Country

Thirteen valleys he has wandered for her love 

For he thinks he is the one that she dreams of 

But her bed was made elsewhere 

From the first day she got there 

Now he wanders thirteen valleys crying out 

Now he wanders thirteen valleys crying out 

"It could've been me 

I said it could've been me" 

A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on 

A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on 

Thirteen valleys she has gone since morning came 

For she gave so much that only love remained 

But her lover is long gone 

With the money she sent home 

Now she wanders thirteen valleys crying out 

Now she wanders thirteen valleys crying out 

"It could've been me 

I said it could've been me" 

A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on 

A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on 

That broken heart will be forever and a lifetime 

That broken heart will dry up love that's gone before 

And you may fight and you may run 

But what was past is now undone 

A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on 

A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on 

Thirteen valleys lie in silence in the haze 

Filled with promises and spirits that we raised 

But the spirits all are ghosts 

Of the ones we hurt the most 

And they wander thirteen valleys crying out 

And they wander thirteen valleys crying out 

"It could've been me 

I said it could've been me" 

A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on 

It could've been me 

I said it could've been me 

A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on 

A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on 

That broken heart will be forever and a lifetime 

That broken heart will dry up love that's gone before 

And you may fight or you may run 

But what was past is now undone 

A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on 

A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on
