Lyrics Laura Veirs – Sleeper In The Valley

In a green hollow
Where a river sings
Tiny valley
Blue bells rings

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
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
