GARDEN VALLEY
Dougie Maclean

1. This is really not my home.
Where are you, my lovely Jenny?
I'm afraid and all alone.
There's no peace for me.
And I'm sitting in a stranger's room,
Playing at the stranger's table,
Shining empty like the moon.
There's no peace for me.

CHORUS: But in the darkness, struggle, cold,
I think about the garden valley,
Gentle as the leaves unfold,
Sitting out across the Tae,
Distant and so far away.
There is no peace for me.

2. I'm blinded by your city lights.
I wander through these fearful places.
The colors fade to black and white.
There is no peace for me.
And these are not the friends I know.
These are not their smiling faces,
The desert that no one should know.
There's no peace for me.

3. Now I know and feel it well,
Of emigrant's deep sunken feeling,
Standing at the gates of hell.
There's no peace for me.
Burned out by their masters' greed,
Cruel exile, transportation,
Robbed of every love and need,
There's no peace for me.
