Valleys and Mountains

Ain't nothing you gotta know
Except which direction the water flows
And there are no reasons why
We are all just moments passing by

And life turns us into what we fear
Our beauty fades, our power disappears
And one day we are just children here
In the arms of a big blue sky

Some days I'm not sure
But I think this curse might be my cure
All my life my heart has chased
A single burning need I cannot name

These valleys are mountains in another world
With a broken heart you can see the stars
These valleys are mountains in another world
And I don't have a lot but I'll give you what I got

Made of golden thread and clay
That dark haired girl from west LA
She can resurrect a cloudy day
I wanna marry her in Paris

Follow her down as far as she goes
I aint afraid of no rabbit holes
Sunday morning save my soul
Making love instead of breakfast

Some days I'm not sure
But I think this curse might be my cure
All my life my heart has chased
A single burning need I cannot name

These valleys are mountains in another world
And I can't help but smile, I hope you stay a while
These valleys are mountains in another world
And the more I see, the less I need

Its like falling in love, its the weight of the world
Its gonna save us, its gonna raise us
Its the things that we lack, gravity on our backs
Its gonna make us fly

If these songs ever lead to riches
Then I won't have to dig no more ditches
I will find myself a Nashville band and
Sing about a world I don't understand
Oh, we can float off just you and me
Float up into that gentle breeze
Into that mystery in the arms of a big blue sky

These valleys are mountains in another world
And if you try and climb it but, you'll never find it
These valleys are mountains in another world
And I don't have a lot but I'll give you what I got
