Valerie Is Sleeping Lyrics - Stan Ridgway

Watch the planes take off and touch the clouds 

Thinkin' I'm a mess, in trouble now 

Buried her in a hole last night 

Underneath a tree 

My life went wrong 

When I met Valerie 

My life went wrong 

When I met Valerie 

One night we walked into a field 

Behind the trailer park she kneeled 

The moon was hangin' like a mask 

I lost my temper for the last time then 

My life went wrong 

When I met Valerie 

My life went wrong 

When I met Valerie 

Valerie is gone now 

Valerie is sleeping 

Valerie is sleeping now 

Valerie is gone now 

Valerie is sleeping 

Valerie is sleeping now 

Valerie is gone now 

Valerie is sleeping 

Valerie is sleeping now 

Valerie is gone now 

Valerie is sleeping 

Valerie is sleeping now
