Valley Boy

(album: Cry Cry Cry - 2017)

The radio's been playing all your songs
Talking about the way you slipped away up the stairs
Did you know that it was all gonna go wrong?
Did you know that it would all be more than you could bear?

Are you still a lover boy?
Are you still on the cover or
Did you become a valley boy out there?

Calling all the angels, we must have an intervention
The land and the air and Marianne are in contention
The land wants the tongue and the air wants the spirit
But it's all inside the heart and Marianne won't let them near it

Said, are you still a lover boy?
Are you still on the cover or
Did you become a valley boy out there?
Are you still a lover boy?
Still laughing on the cover or
Did you become a valley boy out there?

One, three, two and four
South, east, west and north
Summer, water, fall and fire
All has fallen out of order
Say one, three, two and four
To the south, a beast is born
It's pouring rain, the Earth is on fire
So you finally became that bird on that wire

And are you still a lover boy?
Are you still on the cover or
Did you become a valley boy out there?
Are you still a lover boy?
Are you still on the cover or
Did you just run for cover, boy?
Are you still a lover boy?
And are you still a lover boy?
Are you still on the cover or
Did you become a valley boy out there?
Are you still a lover boy?
Still laughing on the cover or
Did you become a valley boy out there?

The radio's been playing all your songs
Talking about the way you slipped away without a care
Did you know that it was all gonna go wrong?
Did you know that it would all be more than you could bear?
