Donnie Iris - Valerie Lyrics
I smell the incense
And I'm filled with hope
Got the mother and the Holy Ghost
I'm lookin' for a miracle
A second chance
To do my mercy dance
He's in his stall
Down by St. Joseph's altar
I almost turn around
I nearly falter
But I take my place in line
Enter when it's time
And soon the door slides open
I have a good wife
I plead no defenses
But when I look at her
I see Valerie
And when she speaks to me
I hear Valerie
Ain't no good reason
Why a man should wander
From the field he's sewn
But Father
Sometimes the heart has reasons
Which reason does not know
I will not leave my family
It's my kid I have a concern for
But when I hold my wife
It's Valerie I burn for
And if I were to go to hell
Well, that's just the way it's gonna be
'Cause it's gonna take more than three Hail Marys
Before I forget Valerie
And so I live with this sadness
The secret no one knows
Except you father
Just you
Father
Can you make my feelings go away?
I just wanna go home and hug my baby
Tell her everything's gonna be ok
But when I look at her
I see Valerie
And when she speaks to me
I hear Valerie
And when I kiss her lips
I'm kissing Valerie
Father forgive me
I miss my Valerie
She's like a serpent
Crawlin' through the backwoods
Of my heart
Tryin' to get the better part
I cannot fight her
When I'm with her I'm on fire
Send out the Devil
Extinguish my desire
Valerie, Valerie, Valerie go
'Cause I'm all mixed up
My head is turned around
I want it both ways
Don't wanna lose a good thing I've found
But I can't run with the fox
And hunt with the hound
