Cathie Ryan Garden Valley Lyrics

[Verse]
This is really not my home
And where are you my lovely Jenny?
I'm afraid and all alone
There is no peace for me

[Verse]
I'm sitting in the stranger's room
Playing at the stranger's table
Shining empty like the moon
There is no peace for me

[Chorus]
But in the darkness, struggle, cold
I think about a garden valley
Gentle as the leaves unfold
Singing out along the Tay
Distant and so far away
There is no peace for me

[Verse]
I'm blinded by your city lights
I wander through these fearful places
The colours fade to black and white
There is no peace for me

[Verse]
These are not the friends I know
These are not their smiling faces
A desert that no one should know
There is no peace for me

[Chorus]
But in the darkness, struggle, cold
I think about a garden valley
Gentle as the leaves unfold
Singing out along the Tay
Distant and so far away
There is no peace for me

[Verse]
Now I know and feel it well
Poor immigrants deep, sunken feeling
Standing at the gates of Hell
There is no peace for me

[Verse]
Burned out by their master's greed
Cruel exile, transportation
Robbed of every love and need
There is no peace for me

[Chorus]
But in the darkness, struggle, cold
I think about a garden valley
Gentle as the leaves unfold
Singing out along the Tay
Distant and so far away
There is no peace for me
But in the darkness
I think about a garden valley
