The Valley of Sickness, that's where I live
that was the name that the Indians give
the sky's always gray, and the rain comes down
the withered and dying crawl close to the ground
The Valley of Sickness creeps through the town
where two poisonous rivers watch you drown
the skin on your skeleton festers away - hey
the sun never shines and the microbes play
The Valley of Sickness knows only one cure
that's to wait out, that's to endure
the weeping, teeth gnashing, the unbearable crying
Someday, they say, the sun will shine.
