Peaks/Valleys Lyrics

We've spent nights

Down in the valley

Longing after peaks

We've had days

Upon the mountain

Waiting for the ground to recede

On the summer steps

The dogs they ran

Sure-footed and

Wholly unafraid

We made the climb

We took our hands

And soon

We were out upon the glade

We've spent nights

Down in the valley

Longing after peaks

We've had days

Upon the mountain

Waiting for the ground to recede

Out among

The columbine

Over fallen pines

Through the mist of the cascade

In the shadow of

The summit tower

We spoke aloud of the

Life that we had made

We've spent nights

Down in the valley

Longing after peaks

We've had days

Upon the mountain

Waiting for the ground to recede

Plain as I can avow

I will never lose my hunger

No more waiting now

We're not getting any younger

We've spent nights

Down in the valley

Longing after peaks

We've had days

Upon the mountain

Waiting for the ground to recede

We've spent nights

Down in the valley

Longing after peaks

We've had days

Upon the mountain

Waiting for the ground to recede
