Laura Veirs - Sleeper In The Valley Lyrics

In a green hallow where a river sings
Tiny valley, blue bells ring
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
In his right side, oh

Sleeping in the sun his hand on his breast
Nape of his neck in the blue watercress
He's just a kid and he never knew
He would be 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
