Little Feat - Vale Of Tears Lyrics
F. Tackett, S. Murphy, and B. Paynethe TV cold fire burningbeen up all nightand the light has left your eyesI was always runnin' to younot fast enoughmy little boy blueever get where you wanted to go?you knew the waythe times, the good and the badwas all that we hadin the end it let us downI'm tired and I feel the blameall my prayers sound the samestranded here with no reliefabandoned here beyond beliefvale of tearsempty roomonce was filledcold and stillthis ragged town so desperate in the rainhas no mercy, no shelter from the painnever mind the promised tomorrowgiven for a heartfelt sorrowalways tomorrow the promisein a vale of tearsthe raucous sounds and shining lightsweave their tales into the nightand the knowing lingers brightall the love my sweet tender friendit's still around, it never endsthe past is just an alibiit's all the samethe weather's turning warmer every dayand I think the rains are doneat least that's what they saythought I saw you just the other nightI knew my eyes weren't seeing rightthen again I see you all the timeeverywherevale of tearsempty roomonce was filledcold and stillthis ragged town so desperate in the rainhas no mercy, no shelter from the painnever mind the promised tomorrowgiven for a heartfelt sorrowalways tomorrow the promisein a vale of tearseven now this anger's replacin' faithI somehowthe heart remembers younever mind the promised tomorrowgiven for a heartful of sorrowalways tomorrow the promisein a vale of tearstell me 'bout the promise tomorrowgiven for a heartful of sorrowalways remember the promisein a vale of tears
