Garden Valley

And 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’s no peace for me

I’m blinded by your city lights
I’ve wandered through those fearful places
Colors fade to black and white
There’s no peace for me

These are not the friends I know
These are not their smiling faces
A desert that no-one should know
There’s 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’s no peace for me

And now I know and I feel it well
Poor immigrants’s deep sunken feeling
Standing at the gates of Hell
There’s no peace for me

Burned out by their master’s greed
Cruel exile transportation
Robbed of every love and need
There’s no peace for me
