Patty Griffin is such a remarkably gifted songwriter who outdid herself with this song for Martin Luther King Jr. — whose birthday we celebrate on Monday! (By the way, there’s also a beautiful version by Kelli Clarkson.)
Some days I look downAfraid I will fallAnd though the sun shinesI see nothing at allThen I hear your sweet voice, ohOh, come and then go, come and then goTelling me softlyYou love me soThe peaceful valleyJust over the mountainThe peaceful valleyFew come to knowI may never get thereEver in this lifetimeBut sooner or laterIt’s there I will goSooner or later.
