Lyrics

Lady of the Valley

I was on my way
to see the lady of the valley
I had trouble all the day
I thought that she would help me
She didn't help me
She just opened up her arms and she held me
Like a baby

After seven days
She took me to the mystic on the mountain
Lessons of solitude
I thought that he would teach me
He didn't teach me
He just opened up his eyes and he sang to me
Like and angel

On the road to Tara
There's a waterfall and well
If you stop between them
You may find there still
The headstone of a pilgrim

I slept all the way
To the passion on the hillside
Empty dreams were filled
with the sound of music
I couldn't hear it
I just opened up my heart and I felt it
like a fire.

Kneeling with the priests
praying at the meeting of the waters
Saddened eyes were filled
with tears as sweet as nectar
I couldn't taste them
I just opened up my hands and I lost them
to the river.

On the road to Tara
There's a waterfall and well
If you stop between them
You may find there still
The headstone of a pilgrim

This pilgrim's progress ended here

I was on my way
to see the lady of the valley...
