The Valley Lyrics - Jane Siberry

I live in the hills 

You live in the valleys 

And all that you know are those blackbirds 

Yoou rise every morning 

Wondering what in the world will the world bring today 

Will it bring you joy or will it take it away 

And every step you take is guided by 

The love of the light on the land and the blackbird's cry 

You will walk in good company 

The valley is dark 

The burgeoning holding 

The stillness obscured by their judging 

You walk through the shadows 

Uncertain and surely hurting 

Deserted by the blackbirds and the staccato of the staff 

And though you trust the light towards which you wend your way 

Sometimes you feel all that you wanted has been taken away 

You will walk in good company 

I love the best of you 

You love the best of me 

Though it is not always easy 

Lovely? lovely? 

We will walk in good company 

The shepherd upright and flowing 

You see
