Valley Of Elah - Radio Edit
Walking from the valley of Elah
Down to where the flowers that bloom
People raise their hands and they sing to the heavens
Like we're saviours of a world renewed
The leaves that flit and glide before us
The blossoms in a victory dance
A sea of voices ring and the melody calls us
To the quays here on the river we stand
Sha la, la, sha la, la
Sha la, la, sha la, la, la
We watch our ship make waves towards us
Commanded by mysterious force
Close enough to board and we climb up the rigging
And return to our uncharted course
The woman reappears to guide us
She paints a map of stars in the sky
The only way is forward and on to the openings
That surface as the water ignites
Sha la, la, sha la, la
Sha la, la, sha la, la, la
Slowly now we take her onward
Steady at the helm we see
All the people bid us farewell as they leave us
To the mercy of the clouded wing
We turn the sail and travel further
Measuring the rising wind
Helpless to the wishes of Manannán
Taking us to places that we've never been
Sha la, la, sha la, la
Sha la, la, sha la, la, la
Down to where the flowers that bloom
People raise their hands and they sing to the heavens
Like we're saviours of a world renewed
The leaves that flit and glide before us
The blossoms in a victory dance
A sea of voices ring and the melody calls us
To the quays here on the river we stand
Sha la, la, sha la, la
Sha la, la, sha la, la, la
We watch our ship make waves towards us
Commanded by mysterious force
Close enough to board and we climb up the rigging
And return to our uncharted course
The woman reappears to guide us
She paints a map of stars in the sky
The only way is forward and on to the openings
That surface as the water ignites
Sha la, la, sha la, la
Sha la, la, sha la, la, la
Slowly now we take her onward
Steady at the helm we see
All the people bid us farewell as they leave us
To the mercy of the clouded wing
We turn the sail and travel further
Measuring the rising wind
Helpless to the wishes of Manannán
Taking us to places that we've never been
Sha la, la, sha la, la
Sha la, la, sha la, la, la
