In the shadow of the valley
I would like to settle down
Wide open space
Wind on my face
A distant horizon
The moon on the crest
In the shadow of the valley
That I love best
You have always waited for me
And you always will be there
Sage brush and pine
Old friends of mine
A little bit further
I will find my rest
In the shadow of the valley
That I love best
I have wandered many places
But they're all the same to me
Nowhere I've found
To settle down
A little bit further
I'll find my rest
In the shadow of the valley
That I love best
In the shadow of the valley
That I love best.

Just met the singer of this song in a diner in Berkeley. Old man is dealing with a kidney tumor. Let's pray for him. He told me about this song. He didn't write it, his bass player wrote the instrumental and a lady from LA (friend of his) wrote the lyrics. He originally thought "wish upon a star" sort of lyrics were best for the tune, but she came up with the "Shadow of the Valley." It originally had 2 versus and when he went to record it he felt it needed a 3rd. He called her up and she gave him the 3rd versus on the phone "I have wondered many places..." His band was big in the bay area in the 80s and 90s, but all his songs are owned by a company in Germany.

It passed 7 or 8 years when i first heard this song...that hot summer evening i was playing FALLOUT NEW VEGAS and smoking some A grade weed when the song started to play..i think i was somewhere near ivanpah dry lake...the song immediately found a spot in my brain,my eyes started to burst in tears but at a same time there was a big smile on my face.And here i am now in 2019 sitting in front of my monitor smoking B grade weed with the same tears and the same smile. i played the song more than 10000 times and still gives the chills.the best song i ever heard!!Please if you ever see the man tell him thet he ia a LEGEND and wish all the BEST!!!Greetings from Croatia

Mcarran to Nellis is nothing compared to good springs to prim to Mohave outpost to nipton to Novac to Boulder City to freeside to the north gate then finding out you don't have 2000 caps
