Prayer in Open D Lyrics by Shannon McNally

Black Irish

0

There's a valley of sorrow in my soul
Where every night I hear the thunder roll
Like the sound of a distant gun
Over all the damage I have done
And the shadows fillin' up this land
Are the ones I built with my own hands
There is no comfort from the cold
Of this valley of sorrow in my soul
There's a river of darkness in my blood
Through every vein, I feel the flood
I can find no bridge to cross
No way to bring back what was lost
Into the night, it's always sweet
Down where all my grievances I keep
But it won't wash away the years
A one single heart and bitter tear
In the rock of ages I have known
Is a weariness down in my bones
Used to ride it like a rolling stone
Now I just carry the load
There's a highway rising from my dreams
Deep in the heart I know it gleams
For I have seen it stretching wide
Clear on across to the other side
Beyond the river and the flood
And the valley where for so long I stood
With the rock of ages in my bones
Someday, I know it will lead me home
