Lyrics:
I remember way back
When I felt only ennui
Like nothing could complete me

No promise of a rising sun
Illuminating everyone
The very thought defeating

But man alive what a blinding light
It must be what it's like when worlds collide
Especially when he sees her
Pretty soon he'll tease her

I was on the road so long
My laboured love bore only song
And not one of them a keeper

But if I woke in the morning to find you were gone
I know I'd try to find the will to be strong
But am I strong enough
I once built a bower
I could build you a home
Together forever
But forever anon is still not long enough

The look of fear was in your eyes
But I could see myself as a child
Such a devastating feeling
How I wished I could go back in time
But all I could do is apologize
Right then your eyes were healing
Healing

But if I woke in the morning to find you were gone
I know I'd try to find the will to be strong
But am I strong enough
I once built a bower
I could build you a home
Together forever
But forever anon is still not long enough

Oh I have been Cain
But I wanna be able
Been a drunken fool
But I wanted to be stable
Enough to lay every one of my cards out on the table
I hope it's not too late for us to find a way through

But if I woke in the morning to find you were gone
I know I'd try to find the will to be strong
But am I strong enough
I once built a bower
I could build you a home
Together forever
But forever anon is still not long enough

I've spent a week trying to write down the words I need.... And then YT recommends this, and i couldn't have got any closer.

[powerofseven]

Two fantastic artists. Thank you for what you give to us.

I remember way back when
I felt only ennui
Like nothing could complete me

No promise of a rising sun
Illuminating everyone
The very thought defeated

My life was a blinded light
Must be what it's like when worlds collide
Especially when he sees her
Pretty soon he'll tease her

I was on the road too long
My laboured lover bore only son’s
Not one of them a keeper
But if I woke in the morning to find you were gone
I know I'd try and find the will to be strong
But am I strong enough? Am I strong enough?
I once built a bower, I could build you a home
Together forever but forever and on
Is still not long enough, still not long enough

You look confused in your eyes
And I could see myself as a child
Such a devastating feeling
I wished I could go back in time
But all I could do was apologize
Right then your eyes were healing
Healing
Oh, if I woke in the morning to find you were gone
I know I'd try and find the will to be strong
But am I strong enough? Am I strong enough?

I once built a bower, I could build you a home
Together forever but forever and on
Is still not long enough, still not long enough

Oh, I've been Cain but I wanna be Abel
Been a drunken fool but I wanted to be stable enough
To lay every one of my cards on the table
Hope it's not too late for us to find a way to

If I woke in the morning to find you were gone
I know I'd try and find the will to be strong
But am I strong enough? Am I strong enough?
I once built a bower, I could build you a home
Together forever but forever and on
Is still not long enough, it's still not long enough

I will look, get inside myself for a home
Find only a sapling in search of an oak
Its just not my love, oh, its just not my love
But am I strong enough?

The nuance vocals in EVERY single performance from Foy is simply mesmerising. Utterly utterly brilliant. 👏

[Milo_mindbinder]

OK, I enjoyed this performance better than the official audio.
Might grow me a mustache, might be the key to my greatness.

[Phimstone]

And the list of insanely well written songs by Foy keeps growing..

[TyAnn]

One of the world’s greatest story tellers! If anything could make my heart feel, at its very depths, it’s this man’s songs.
Pairing these two voices is pure perfection.
I’m so very glad to have lived long enough to hear Foy Vance’s heart and soul being poured out in his music!
The world is more Blessed because of him. ❤️

[Poppinsyahear]

I get a chills at every single one of these live videos. Simply incredible.

[helenforkin]

Beautiful version - thank you so much gents!

[rosiidesouza]

Perfection exists and is here in this feat.

[melg]

Foy- OH bloody
What an amazing collaboration. I have cried for six months straight-😭 I actually have tear tracks😶 Like when water carves into rock.
Whoah! the lyrics and what you both together have created is something so truly healing. Foy - Thanks I am shocked I have never heard of you sing before. (Perhaps years of me living a little shellted) Amazing you are. What a team. Thanks Rory. 😊
Rory, if you read this... please when you come to Melbourne next can you please bring Foy? Definitely.
Rory when you and your band play, people of all ages are mesmerised. Almost every time you give me brain goosebumps and beautiful good soul tears.
May I ask from one tear to another, one Just one more little favour. Please can you sing with your amazing band to and some other amazing people, on a rooftop under the stars of a Super Moon Night in Melbourne. Or in a farm in a barn under the stars? Please and Thank you's 😇🎼🎵🎼😇👂👁👀👂🎵🎶 and I love you's ❤😁
