In the Shadow of the Valley Lyrics

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

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
