I watched you walk out from the world before And nothin' asked you to be much more Than just a hand full of dust Oh, lonesome valley, lonesome valley Oh, lonesome valley, lonesome valley
Out here the ghost wears the feathered crown Of blues and the sickle moons To watch over the lost horizon Oh, the lonesome valley, the lonesome valley Oh, through the lonesome valley, the lonesome valley
Now I'm not worried about headin' back I will be punished by a civil debt If I've done enough but not my best
I turned my pain into a simple plan Harmony onward friend Draggin' myself out again Oh, through the lonesome valley, the lonesome valley Oh, through the lonesome valley, the lonesome valley
Now let the wolf judge me as I stand Harmony onward friend Until I see that old star again High over the lonesome valley High over the lonesome valley
