Big Country - Thirteen Valleys lyrics

Thirteen valleys he has wandered for her love For he thinks he is the one that she dreams of But her bed was made elsewhere From the first day she got there Now he wanders thirteen valleys crying out Now he wanders thirteen valleys crying out "It could've been me I said it could've been me" A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on Thirteen valleys she has gone since morning came For she gave so much that only love remained But her lover is long gone With the money she sent home Now she wanders thirteen valleys crying out Now she wanders thirteen valleys crying out "It could've been me I said it could've been me" A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on That broken heart will be forever and a lifetime That broken heart will dry up love that's gone before And you may fight and you may run But what was past is now undone A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on Thirteen valleys lie in silence in the haze Filled with promises and spirits that we raised But the spirits all are ghosts Of the ones we hurt the most And they wander thirteen valleys crying out And they wander thirteen valleys crying out "It could've been me I said it could've been me" A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on It could've been me I said it could've been me A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on That broken heart will be forever and a lifetime That broken heart will dry up love that's gone before And you may fight or you may run But what was past is now undone A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on
