Sister Of The Valley Video (MV)

Still waters run so deep around these parts
Chains tied to anchors tied to broken hearts
The sister of the valley, she lives alone
Some say that her house holds secrets untold
I wouldn't go and sit round there, for all the gold
The sister of the valley, she don't speak a word

The rain cries its tears
That pool into the lake
The trees groan and shriek
My hound dog shakes
When the lightning streaks
If you look down below
It's easy to see the faces in the spaces
Where the pondweed won't grow

Quiet people always have the loudest minds
If you could hear them all what do you think you'll find?
The sister of the valley, took an oath sincere

Traumatised people find their counterparts
Chains tied to anchors tied to broken hearts
The sister of the valley was betrothed they say

The rain cries its tears
That pool into the lake
The trees groan and shriek
My hound dog shakes
When the lightning streaks
If you look down below
You can't escape the faces in the spaces
Where the pondweed won't grow

Now dredgers and diggers are raising the dirt
From a dying confession they're sifting through hurt
And the bodies they brought up all of them but one
Are the children she bore that never grew to see the sun

But there was another body there in the ground
The husband she buried there to end it all

The rain cries its tears
That pool into the lake
The trees groan and shriek
And my heart breaks
When the lightning streaks
If you look down below
You'd see it looks like sorrow
Now the ground is open up

The rain cries its tears
That pool into the lake
The trees groan and shriek
My hound dog shakes
When the lightning streaks
If you look down below
It's easy to see the faces in the spaces
Where the pondweed won't grow
