The Valley Song
(To the melody of "The Violet Hour" by The Civil Wars)
Twirl and flow, softly blow
So is the breeze in the night
Rustling leaves and no worries, no fears, in sight
.
Little girl, don't you fret
No bad dreams will near your bed
Close your eyes – there is peace in this valley tonight
.
Hold me, protect me from outside
Let me hide my eyes, let me forget the strife
Kiss me, I'm so tired I can't cry
For now I've fear of the darkness and
The monsters that roam the night
.
Little girl, don't you fret
No bad dreams will near your bed
Close your eyes – there is peace in this valley tonight
.
See the moon shining bright
Banishing nightmares and cries
Lay down now, I will hold your hand in mine tight
.
Hide me, help me get through this night
I am shivering cold, the candle's now blown out
Guide me into my slumber, light
With fingers running through my hair, you whisper now, "it's dead"
.
Just sleep tight
Forget all that's outside
Hold my hand
I will not leave you yet
.
Little girl, don't you fret
No bad dreams will near your bed
Close your eyes – there is peace in this valley tonight...

KayJuli: This is a little something I thought of while imagining what sort of song Katniss Everdeen would have sung to make the birds stop and listen and have Peeta Mellark fall in love with her so completely. I hope you liked it, as I enjoyed writing it. :)
