Peace In The Valley Once Again Lyrics & Chords By Christy Moore

The Handsome Family

When They close down the last shopping Mall

Crickets will sing through crumbling walls

Termites will eat through the doors

As rabbits hop round the shop floors

Empty shelves will swarm with bees

Cash machines will sprout weeds

Lizards will crawl across the parking lot

As birds fly around empty shops

There will be Peace in the valley once again

Wild flowers will grow up the mannequins

Painting them with a leafy skin

Their plastic eyes will fall to the floor

To be gathered by wild boar

Mirrors will crack in half

As wild horses gallop past

Wild doves will build their nests

On the escalator steps

There will be Peace in the valley once again
