In The Valley (Album Version)

In The Valley - Midnight Oil
My grandfather went down with the MonteVideo
The rising sun sent him floating to his rest
And his wife fled south to Sydney seeking out safe harbour
A North Shore matron she became with some paying guests
My father went down with the curse of big cities
Traffic tolls and deadlines took him to his peace
Now Bob Dyer glued us to our seats
And lawns were always Victa neat
Whilst Menzies fawned at royal fleet i'm sure you remember do you remember?
In The Valley I walk,In The Valley I walk,In The Valley I walk I took some comfort there
In the valley I walk, cold comfort I can hear you talk
In the valley I walk, who will take me there?
my When mother went down it was a stiff arm from Hades
Life surprises and you tears like the southerly
She always welcomed the spring she always welcomed the stranger
I don't see too many around like this
Oh no, In The Valley I walk In The Valley I walk In The Valley I walk who can save me there
In the valley I walk - oh rough justice I hear you talk
In the valley I walk - who will leave me there
