the valley of every little thing

the valley of every little thing

lay it down. lay it all down.
have to lay it all down.

at the foot of the mountain of all things and every little thing
every little long-forsaken thing

time will tell. all the time will tell so much.
have to give time the time to tell it all.

the choices on these slopes of everything and all things
every choice weighs on these slopes

let it go. let it pour.
let it all pour into the valley of all things.
the valley of every little thing.

all things and everything.
its all so little.
its all just so little from here.

time says forsaken and just another thing
forsaken and just some other thing

just some other little soon forsaken thing
falling into the same obscurity of all things of that valley

anything here above all things
is just another thing
and i cry
