In a Valley (1.6.10)

I'm not asking you to say you'll always be there
I just want someone to listen
I just want someone to care
No I'm not saying you should always be there
I just want someone to listen
Just want someone to care

At night I dream
Of a better place
There's a smile on my face,
And a smile on your face
We are happy
And free
And that's what I want to be
(yeah that's how I wanna be)

(next bit more to the tune of a Milow- Born In the 80's/ death cab/dashboard/bright eyes type song)

Sitting alone in this place,
Wondering how I ever got here, 
to this dark empty space.
Because once upon a time 
I was on top of the world.
Now I am here below,
Just thinking about 
how to get out,
And its dark
And its cold
And it's lonely.

I'm stuck in a valley, no place to run
It's dark most of the time, 
I barely see the sun
Except that brief moment, 
when I see it overhead
Then I can see what I want
And I feel alive, 
Instead of dead

But most of the time, 
there's no light, 
only dark
And I don't remember 
what it is that I want.
Without that reminder 
Of brief sunlight,
I'm stuck in a valley, 
and I can't see the light.
