Context

A song of getting lost in the occasional rising heavy fogbanks and trying to find your friend again.

THE VOICE ACROSS THE VALLEY

Lyrics

[Verse 1]

The fog came climbing through the fern;

I lost you at the narrow turn.

One moment, you were just ahead—

Then white mist filled the path instead.

I heard your call below the hill,

So faint I had to hold quite still.

I sent an answer, long and low,

Then took the trail I hoped you’d know.

[Chorus]

There’s a voice across the valley,

Calling softly through the grey.

There’s a voice that keeps me walking

When I cannot see the way.

Let me hear you. Let me find you.

Keep your answer clear and true.

There’s a voice across the valley,

And it’s bringing me to you.

[Verse 2]

I followed where your answer fell,

Past roots and rocks I knew so well.

Each time I stopped, your call came through—

Each time, a little more of you.

I heard your footsteps through the fern;

Your voice came nearer with each turn.

I waited by a leaning tree

And called, “I’m here. Come here to me.”

[Chorus]

There’s a voice across the valley,

Calling softly through the grey.

There’s a voice that keeps me walking

When I cannot see the way.

Let me hear you. Let me find you.

Keep your answer clear and true.

There’s a voice across the valley,

And it’s bringing me to you.

[Bridge]

A shadow moved within the white.

And there you were, at last in sight.

The fog still clung to every stone;

The trees were blurred, the path unknown.

We turned towards the valley floor

And matched our footsteps as before.

[Final Chorus]

There was a voice across the valley,

Calling softly through the grey.

There was a voice that kept me walking

When I couldn’t see the way.

Every call became a footstep;

Every answer led me through.

There was a voice across the valley,

And it brought me back to you.
