Lyrics: The Tossers. The Valley Of The Shadow Of Death.

Well, last night I lie all in my dreams
When a rap at the door it startled me
And I heard those footsteps on the stairs
And I bade her, please come in

Well, come in, come in, my roving friend
Come in and rest awhile
For you've been gone so very long
But it's nice to see you smile

Come in, come in, my wandering friend
Accept my welcome home
Well, I hope you can stay a long, long while
Before you have to go

And she walked across the room to me
And then she sat right down with me
And told me that she had to leave
She could not stay for long

Well, a child he held into his arms
A child that I knew well through time
And told me that he had to leave
He had to take him home

Well, come in, come in, my roving friend
Come in and rest awhile
For you've been gone so very long
But it's nice to see you smile

Come in, come in, my wandering friend
Accept my welcome home
Well, I hope you can stay a long, long while
Before you have to go

And she crossed the floor and moved away
And my heart said, "Stop her, make her stay"
But I just showered myself in tears
For I just let her go

When I awoke I cried and cried
And went to sit by his graveside
And visit the child he left behind
Because he had to go

Well, you must come back to me again
Accept the welcome I extend
I will not let you go this time
If only in my dreams
If only in my dreams
If only in my dreams
Well, come to me in my dreams

And yeah, though you walk ever on
May your heart be not weary but strong
And yeah, though you walk ever on
Through the valley of the shadow of death

And yeah, though you walk ever on
May your heart be not weary but strong
And yeah, though you walk ever on
Through the valley of the shadow of death
Through the valley of the shadow of death
Through the valley of the shadow of death
Through the valley of the shadow of death
