“The Valley” was inspired by Marling seeing a close female friend mourn the death of her father. “Watching her mourning and being quite isolated and the beauty of that,” she explains.
The song is about a woman watching another suffer and feeling helpless.
The Valley Annotated
[Verse 1]
I know she stayed in town last night
Didn't get in touch
I know she has my number right
She can't face seeing us
[Chorus 1]
She sings in the valley in the morning
Many a morning I have woke
Longing to ask her what she's mourning
Course I know it can't be spoke
[Verse 2]
Perhaps she's had too much of love
Can be a sickly thing
That's why she mourns the morning dew
And the newness that it brings
[Chorus 1]
She sings in the valley in the morning
Many a morning I have woke
Longing to ask her what she's mourning
Of course I know it can't be spoke
[Bridge]
I love you in the morning
I love you in the day
I'd love you in the evening
If only she would stay
[Verse 3]
We love beauty 'cause it needs us to
It needs our brittle glaze
And innocence reminds us to
Cover our drooling gaze
[Chorus 2]
She's down there in the valley
I know she wanders there
She's down there in the valley
I can see her golden hair
[Outro]
I love you in the morning
My angel of the west
I love you in the evening
And I will do my very best
I'll do my very best
