Garden Valley

This is really not my home

Oh where are you my lovely Johnny

I'm afraid and all alone

There's no peace for me

I'm sitting in a stranger's room

Playing at this stranger's table

Shining empty like the moon

There's no peace for me

But in the darkness struggle cold

I think about a golden valley

Gentle as the leaves unfold

Singing out across the bay

Distant and so far away

There's no peace for me

I'm blinded by your city lights

I wander through these fearful places

Colours fade to black and white

There's no peace for me

And these are not the friends I know

These are not the smiling faces

A desert that no one should know

There's no peace for me

But in the darkness struggle cold

I think about a golden valley

Gentle as the leaves unfold

Singing out across the bay

Distant and so far away

There's no peace for me

Well now I know and feel it well

Poor immigrant Steve's sunken feeling

Standing at the gates of hell

There's no peace for me

Burned out by their masters' greed

Cruel exile transportation

Robbed of every love and need

There's no peace for me

But in the darkness struggle cold

I think about a golden valley

Gentle as the leaves unfold

Singing out across the bay

Distant and so far away

There's no peace for me

There's no peace for me
