Valley (A Love Song)

You’ve got Eliot on the phone, he says he knows how you’ve been feeling
How you’re infinitely gentle even when you’re suffering
I look out of the library window, I see the room reflected back
The steam from my tea reveals words on the cold glass
The valley tempts me downwards, but the train will take me home
You are the only thing pulling me north
Cause' I don’t know where I’ve been, but I’ve been away so long
Out of love, out of my mind, getting good at getting it wrong
I know I’ve been too much, too many times
A point on a map drawn over and over
No man is a city, except for mine
Kiss me beneath constellations
I have made you my destination
No man is an island, except for mine
Fall in love with me again
Oh, let’s be frantic like the first time
Fall in love with me again
Oh, let’s be frantic like the last time
There are things I’ll never say, there are fears I’ll never speak
Like how you may wake up in the middle of the night to look at me
And not see a woman that you love, just some woman that you know
I can’t pretend that isn’t how these stories sometimes go
I know I’ve been too much, too many times
A point on a map drawn over and over
No man is a city, except for mine
