Valleys

I came a long way, finding my way
It took me all my life to get here
I used to wonder how long 'till I finally got out
Now I'm wondering what the hell I was whining about
Finding my route
Hoppin' in the river 'cause it ain't bad
The current flows just like my mind over this ink pad
I used to think mad but now I'm reformed
Forlorn but now I'm reborn

It took me years but I finally fell in love with you
Now I'm all up in your valleys like a coyote
I sing about you, howling wild and free
Following your curves floating downstream
Or tearing up your skies with the dragonflies
While a thousand different skies dazzle my eyes
Whether I'm taking in the perfume of a wild rose
Or wrapped up in the silence of your deep snows

I had to learn to love the valleys to appreciate the hills
Ain't no grand finales just for cheap thrills
It wasn't so much that I needed the weight lifted
I needed to life the weight just to see that I could lift it
And carry through, made my choice to stay with you
It's scary but your voice helps see me through
Inbound, outbound, I still get around
But I found a place to land headed westbound

It took me years but I finally fell in love with you
I finally fell in love with you
It took me years but I finally fell in love with you
Fell in love with you

I shook my fears and I finally fell in love with you
I finally fell in love with you
It took me years but I finally fell in love with you
Fell in love with you

I came a long way, finding my way
It took me all my life to get here
I used to wonder how long 'till I finally got out
Now I'm wondering what the hell I was whining about
To all the seeds that I'ma plant in this here soil
To all the dreams and the triumphs and the turmoil
Not letting history define what I do next
I let the mysteries unwind like a Rolex
