Big Country - Broken Heart (Thirteen Valleys) Lyrics






Thirteen valleys he has wandered for her love
For he thinks he is the one that she dreams of
But her bed was made elsewhere from the first day she got there
Now he wanders thirteen valleys crying out
Now he wanders thirteen valleys crying out

It could have been me
I said, It could have been me
A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on
A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on

Thirteen valleys she has gone since morning came
Well she gave so much that only love remains
But her lover is long gone with the money she sent on
Now she wanders thirteen valleys crying out
Now she wanders thirteen valleys crying out

It could have been me
I said, It could have been me
A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on
A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on

That broken heart will be forever and a lifetime
That broken heart will try your love like none before
And you may fight or you may run for what was fast is now undone
A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on
A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on

Thirteen valleys lying silent in the haze
Filled with promises and spirits that we raised
But the spirits all are ghosts of the ones we hurt the most
And they wander thirteen valleys crying out
And they wander thirteen valleys crying out

It could have been me
I said, It could have been me
A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on

It could have been me
I said, It could have been me
A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on

That broken heart will be forever and a lifetime
That broken heart will try your love like none before
And you may fight or you may run for what was fast is now undone
A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on
A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on

    a great song such depth.I wish Stuart Adamson was of this earth now. RIP Stuart..

    If you come from an immigrant background, this song is especially poignant. You send home your money, photos, hopes and aspirations, one letter at a time. When you return, it is a big disappointment  The ones you loved and left behind are jaded, absent, drunk, jealous, married or resigned to one of 13 valleys of despair mentioned in this song . Can't help but to  think "it could have been me".

  8. B.... D....
