Generate meaning
1
There’s a man down in the valley
2
Who doesn’t speak in his own tongue
3
He bears a grudge against the English
4
The tune to which his songs are sung
5
There’s a man down in the valley
6
Who is moving back in time
7
It’s a physical ascension
8
You can watch him as he climbs
9
The farmer’s wives are at their windows
10
They’ve seen him wind his way for hours
11
They tell the kids to lower their voices
12
And pretend that they are out
13
There’s a man down in the valley
14
Trying to stop time in its tracks
15
His boots lie heavy on the grasses
16
But it keeps on pushing back
17
And his wife, she was a painter
18
But now she stains the altar black
19
He’s out bird watching on the islands
20
And she wishes he’d come back
21
There’s a man down in the valley
22
And he dreams of moving west
23
Of battles raged against the furies
24
That might see him at his best
25
There’s a man down in the valley
26
Don’t know his right foot from his left
27
Don’t know his right foot from his left
