Marvin Rainwater — The Valley of the Moon lyrics

Lyrics

Way out west in the Land of Cherokee
Big happiness is a-waitin' there for me
Across the lake and through the land abloom
She’s a-waitin' in the Valley of the Moon
Oh, nighthawks, so restless up above
Please do a favor for me and my love
Please take the message to my love for me
And hurry to the Land of Cherokee
Tell her my journey’s almost over
And tell her that I’ll be coming soon
And tell her, oh, how I miss her (Tell her, oh, how I miss her)
And the Valley of the Moon (And the Valley of the Moon)
Memories from the past keep haunting me
Since I left the Land of Cherokee
But, if I have my way I’ll be there soon
With her in the Valley of the Moon
Oh, nighthawks, so restless up above
Please do a favor for me and my love
Please take the message to my love from me
And hurry to the Land of Cherokee
Tell her my journey’s almost over
And tell her that I’ll be coming soon
And tell her, oh, how I miss her (Tell her, oh, how I miss her)
And the Valley of the Moon (And the Valley of the Moon)
And tell her, oh, how I miss her (Tell her, oh, how I miss her)
And the Valley of the Moon (And the Valley of the Moon)
