Thread Name: Lyr Req: A Garden Valley (from De Danann)
Subject: Lyr Add: GARDEN VALLEY (Dougie MacLean)
here it is, maybe not exactly what DeDannan are singing but at least very close:
GARDEN VALLEY
This is really not my home oh where are you my lovely Jenny I'm afraid and all alone there is no peace for me
I'm sitting in the stranger's room playing at the stranger's table shining empty like the moon there is no peace for me
but in the darkness struggle cold I think about a garden valley gentle as the leaves unfold singing out along the Tay distant and so far away there is no peace for me
I'm blinded by you city lights I wander through these fearful places the colours 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 a desert that no-one should know there is no peace for me
CHORUS
Now I know and feel it well poor immigrant's deep sunken feeling standing at the gates of hell there is no peace for me
Burned out by their masters' greed cruel exile transportation robbed of every love and need there is no peace for me
