People in the Valley Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Some came down to hang out by the river
Others were waiting to find the night
We stood long just waiting for the picture
Looking at people to see what was right

[Chorus]
Soon came the people from over in the valley
Hundreds of them walking towards us in the rain
Then we turned around and hid out in the alley
Met along the stones down Tomorrow Day Lane

[Verse 2]
Take away the road and no one will remember
How many journeys we etched in the stone
Friends around will take away the wonder
Sharing a moment of being alone

[Chorus]
Soon came the people from over in the valley
Hundreds of them walking towards us in the rain
Then we turned around and hid out in the alley
Met along the stones down Tomorrow Day Lane

[Outro]
Ba ba ba ba ba ba...
