Sam Beam & Jesca Hoop - Valley Clouds lyrics

Why don't we go slow below the Valley Clouds Our edges worn round and sacred now All in time, all promises were not the same We left flowers in the field and our tears were plain Bend to the wind It'll baptize your skin until your music is tender Tender as trees For the truth we believed It's the wind we remember We were overcome Spinning in the wheels Hitting bottom in the wellspring mud Crying to the cold until we felt the sun Home was up a hill but our weary legs could run When we closed our eyes We could see the serpent And the savior laying side by side Heaven was a corner where we tried to hide Our running would be long and our river would be wild Feel this flag Let's ring another freedom bell Our backs were to the sound but its sermon held All things wild Draw cups until the water's cold Our memories are Christ and our hearts are clothes Bend to the wind it'll baptize our skin Until our music is tender Tender is trees for the tears when we leave It's the wind we'll remember We were overcome Spinnin in the wheels In the bottom of the wellspring mud Cryin to the cold till we feel the sun Home is up a hill where our weary legs will run When we close our eyes See the serpent and her favorite savior laying side by side Every heaven only you and I could find Our running would be long and our river will be wild Bells come back We'll name a star we know all night What valley is our claim when our coin is sky
