Valley Lyrics
So have you been to the valley lately?
Have you noticed that the shepherd is gone?
So walk gently lady
As you walk along
Cos I once fought for his forces
But that cross bears nothing now
I've seen all but your Crusades succeed
And it's growing sour
Gonna be a long time waitin
Things are always looking little better when you're on the back
Side of them
And then you know all that you think you might need to know
But even then, my little wing, you'll have to grow
You'll have to grow
So have you been to your God lately?
No Jesus Christ, he ain't nowhere to be seen
He is not there matey
He has never been
So have you been to your church lately
No cannot find the key to your home
There is no support for you now my friend
They got problems of their own
Have you noticed that the shepherd is gone?
So walk gently lady
As you walk along
Cos I once fought for his forces
But that cross bears nothing now
I've seen all but your Crusades succeed
And it's growing sour
Things are always looking little better when you're on the back
Side of them
But even then, my little wing, you'll have to grow
You'll have to grow
No Jesus Christ, he ain't nowhere to be seen
He is not there matey
He has never been
No cannot find the key to your home
There is no support for you now my friend
They got problems of their own

The live version of Valley on Living 2001-2002 is brilliant.
The Live version of Valley I heard at his concert was THE best :D
As for what the song is about? Well the religious undertones are both subtle and blatantly obvious. As my friend things, it would appear John may not have much faith in religion and the church.
Looks like he's pointing out the problems with the Christian church and the issues religion has caused. 'I've seen all but your Crusades succeed' 'They can't help you now coz they got problems of their own'
