[Verse 1]
There's a valley filled with poppies
There's a mountain etched in blue
There's a memory that hollers
Where it echoes I love you
[Verse 2]
Does not look like this island
That is walled in by the sea
With the only sound the warden
Who is yelling at me
[Bridge]
Little bird that I see flying
Do you know how far I've flown?
Do you know how low the valley?
I have sunk below
[Verse 3]
And the warden takes the prisoners
One by one to this room
Whеre their evеry hope is broken
Except that death will claim them soon
[Verse 4]
And there's no one to ask questions
And there's no one to reply
To ask why I was taken
On the fourth day of July
[Bridge]
Little bird that I see flying
Can you even hear me cry
Through the walls of this prison
Where I will surely die?
[Verse 5]
And the crescent moon is shining
Marking time as passing by
And it's seven years and counting
Since I bid you all goodbye
[Verse 6]
In my dreams I'm dreaming of you
In my dreams I can fly
And I holler I love you
And the valley replies
