Prayer In Open D Lyrics - Emmylou Harris

(Emmylou Harris) 

There's a valley of sorrow in my soul 

Where every night I hear the thunder roll 

Like the sound of a distant gun 

Over all the damage I have done. 

And the shadows filling up this land 

Are the ones I built with my own hand 

There is no comfort from the cold 

Of this valley of sorrow in my soul.

There's a river of darkness in my blood 

And through every vein I feel the flood 

I can find no bridge for me to cross 

No way to bring back what is lost. 

Into the night it soon will sweep 

Down where all my grievances I keep 

But it won't wash away the years 

Or one single hard and bitter tear. 

And the rock of ages I have known 

Is a weariness down in the bone 

I used to ride it like a rolling stone 

Now I just carry it alone. 

There's a highway risin' from my dreams 

Deep in the heart I know it gleams 

For I have seen it stretching wide 

Clear across to the other side.

Beyond the river and the flood 

And the valley where for so long I've stood 

With the rock of ages in my bones 

Someday I know it will lead me home. oh, oh, oh...
