Johnathan Maske - The Down Valley Lyrics

In the days when I was so much younger
Couldn't mark the passage of time
And we'd wonder the fields all day

In those days when you were so much stronger
You marched up valley every day
And you came home a ghost lost at sea

All the days that took it all
So many time slipped away
Each day we'd come down
From the mountains that surround
Down valley my home

As a boy I stood on your shoulder
Looking to earn your praise
Working hard by your side

Another year and the winters grow colder
Never could find much to say
To a boy who hung on every word

All the days that took it all
So many time slipped away
Each day we'd come down
From the mountains that surround
Down valley my home

I would dream of
Future days when
I could rest and
Maybe travel far
We could talk then
Sleep in the sun and
I could know what
Once drove you

These days we never see each other
Old habits are hard to break
Some things will never change

Another year and the winters grow colder
You never could find much to say
To a boy who hung on every word

All the days that took it all
So many time slipped away
Each day we'd come down
From the mountains that surround
Down valley my home
All the days that took it all
So many time slipped away
Each day we'd come down
From the mountains that surround
Down valley my home
Down valley my home
Down valley my home
