------------

I'm back in the valley, and I'm overthrown
No more king in the counting house, no more control

Back in the valley, down off the mountainside
Storm carried me up there in winter and dropped me to sparkle and shine
waiting for Springtime

And we go around and round and round and
round and round and round and around.

I'm back in the valley, called out by the sun
Dressing the trees up in emeralds to dance on the branches
sucking up light into our blood.

Back in the valley, swimming upstream
Taking my cues from the curling moon and
following the rocks up to the next version of me.

And we go around and round and round and
round and round and round and around.

Oh, we're just spinning in rings with these roses and things
that we hold in our teeth, till we all fall down.


I'm Back in the valley, bleaching last years bones.
We ooze out and crawl in and blossom up where death's been
Brief and soft but we're taking life

Around and round and round and around and round and round and
round and round and round and around and around and round and round and
round and round and round and around.

Back In The Valley

Tom Waits (on Jim Wilson): "Wilson, he's always playing with time. I heard a recording recently of crickets slowed way down. It sounds like a choir, it sounds like angel music. Something sparkling, celestial with full harmony and bass parts - you wouldn't believe it. It's like a sweeping chorus of heaven, and it's just slowed down, they didn't manipulate the tape at all. So I think when Wilson slows people down, it gives you a chance to watch them moving through space. And there's something to be said for slowing down the world."
