"Blackwater Valley" lyrics

Nearly back home from another road
Blackwater Valley starts to unfold
Taking the kids to school next day
Too long for me to be away

The boys coming down from out of town
Been a long time since they've been around
Can I even do this again
Sisters in trouble and it don't look good
There's a fire growing in the neighbourhood
Wish I could just take away that pain
If I could...

Been into the wood maybe too far
Past the weed grown chassis of a burnt out car
Keep my feet on the ground
Nothing here I haven't already found

The boys coming down from out of town
Been a long time since they've been around
Can I even do this again
Sisters in trouble and it don't look good
There's a fire growing in the neighbourhood
Wish I could just take away that pain
If I could...

If I could take away the pain
If I could take away the pain
If I could take away the pain
If I could...

In the morning we would walk in the wood
Climbing over trees where they once stood
Sun it bleached their feathers white
Falling from the oak like they were taking flight

The boys coming down from out of town
Been a long time since they've been around
Can I even do this again
Sisters in trouble and it don't look good
There's a fire growing in the neighbourhood
Wish I could just take away that pain
If I could...
