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.
