On the beach, within arm's reach
There's nothin' more this shore can teach
The maltreatment of the sun
You've lost a valley son
He was down with bein' done
But now he's done with bein' down
Mis maltreatment has a sound
You've lost a valley son
You've lost a valley son
You've lost a valley son
You've lost a valley son
The engine in his heart
Gets dirty, then don't start
Man, it all just falls apart
He can't watch his other shine
As he's rottin' on the vine
This maltreatment over time
You've lost a valley son
You've lost a valley son
You've lost a valley son
You've lost a valley son
