Lyrics for Sleeper in the Valley
In a green hollow Where a river sings Tiny valley Blue bells rings There's a young soldier Under the clouds 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 Sleeping in the sun His hand on his breast Nape of his neck The blue watercress He's just a kid And he never knew He would be The 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 And the crows, they swoon At the two red holes In his right side, oh In his right side
