Description
Written by EJH, sung by Mystified!
Ed and Mysti posted this as a folk ballad a week or so ago, and it seemed to me that while they'd done the definitive version, there was more in the song. Ed asked if I'd like to do a bass part, but I kind of got carried away and added bass, drums and percussion. This is not meant to be better than Ed and Mysti's version, just different. I used Ed's guitar and Mysti's wonderful vocals as they were in the original post.
Song art by me - Ed says Fran says a person needs to worry about their manhood if they post something they shouldn't as song art :)
Jim Bouchard has a great version of Mist here.

Lyrics
The Mist Comes Up The Valley
© 1984 Ed Hannifin
In the morning, we turn our backs to the wind
It’s no use, pretending the cold will give in
The mist comes up the valley, swallowing granite and tree
I thought I heard a gull cry, but we’re ninety miles from the sea
And I might be anywhere
I might be anyone
I could be anywhere at all
You can’t see what causes a heart to remain
Surrounded by the evergreen and the rain
But when the mist comes up the valley, and the firs turn black and white
The only light’s the moonlight, but the moon is out of sight
I might be anywhere
I might be anyone
I might be anywhere at all
It’s easy, when dreaming is all that you dare
To fall for a life made of water and air
The mist comes up the valley, softening all guarantees
An open invitation to imagine the world as I please
And I might be anywhere
I might be anyone
I might be anyone at all
