The Valley of Oblivion (Mellotron Version)

from Half by The Soundrops

lyrics

August morning came like unexpected rain
the sun was far behind the haze
birds were sitting on the tops of the greatest trees
they didn`t break that strange silence in the air

all the paintings in the sky they seemed to cry
for something ended and it would not come back
and there was just one way there left for me
to leave myself and to find

the valley of oblivion
inside the forests of time
that`s the place where the sun always shines
where you can clear your eyes your heart and your mind

go towards the waterfalls
go towards the streams of the brightness
and you will feel
that Love
is near

only two silver lines forgotten by old trains
decided to show me the way
in waiting for the wander`s end

leaves were dancing in the wind around my head
my feet fell often on the sand
all in all it`s not so hard to light the gloom
and change one`s ways for truth

the valley of oblivion
inside the forests of time
that`s the place where the sun always shines
where you can clear your eyes your heart and your mind
