Lyrics:
I just needed a little while
Time for to figure it out
In a little quiet
I left the bedroom door ajar
I'm running out and I need for to lay my head down
Can you turn the light out for me
It doesn't matter who it is
Don't answer the door
They only wanna ask if I'm alright
Can't say yes anymore
But...
If Christopher calls
Wake me up and let me know
If Christopher calls
And if Christopher calls
Tell him that I held out hope
If Christopher calls
She sat out on a garden chair
Underneath the Tennessee sun
With the wind in her hair
She said I watched the birds for a while
and they reminded me to smile
But I knew that they'd fly before long
Can you raise the moon up for me
Doesn't matter who it is
Don't pick up the phone
They're only trying to keep me company
And I need to be alone
But...
If Christopher calls
Wake me up and let me know
If Christopher calls
And if Christopher calls
Tell him that I held out hope
If Christopher calls
For me - someone who struggles with depression - Christopher is the embodiment of 'hope'. "If HOPE calls, wake me up and let me know."
@Bennedean Pretorius so true. Such a beautiful song
Hope is something that makes us want, love, and keep. Foy speaks to every part of that.
Beautiful song ❤
I was in jail, while my mom was dying of cancer. She passed before I got out. She loved to watch the birds. This song destroys me.
About Foys father in law dying and his wifes reaction. This song gets me everytime!!!!
I'd love to just shake your hand foy. Your music will forever be a part of me.
Grateful for the way Foy’s lyrics make me think deeper and make meaning of experiences in my life.
This song came on right at a moment where I’m lost and Foy Vance’s singing brings me joy. I am a Christopher & this was helpful to me. Thank you Mr Vance & RUclips algorithm.
Such a masterpiece, this version is deeply beautiful. Beyond words
Jesus, what a song...
I have no words to describe how much this song touches me.
I literally travel in my thoughts and go as far as I can.
Simply incredible!
This song dropped exactly in the middle of the love of my life and I taking time apart. Such a confusing and painful time for both of us. We are back at it together at this point but still working through so very much.
Its never been or will be over a lack of love....my goodness....there is no shortage of that.
This song just says it all so amazingly well. Its beautiful.
His name is ...
. Christopher.
Yeah. Lol. Blew me away.
This has “She Burns” vibes 🔥
I totally know what you mean... 👌🏻
absolute top shelf, man. i'd gladly listen to a hundred albums worth of you and a guitar/accordian like this. pure bliss. much love.
Dude, I’ve been a fan for years. This is one of the most beautiful pieces you’ve produced. F-ing brilliant man! Thanks for sharing your wonderful creativity with the world.
Foy vances voice touches souls, end of discussion, this song was like a repeat episode for me and it resonated in completeness
Such a beautiful song that touches your heart in a way not many songs do ❤️
My brother's name was Christopher that passed away 😢I miss you
This is what "beyond" looks like. Masterclass is in session.
genialna piosenka
A pure genius
I have hyperacusis hearing. Your voice and the music you share with us is part of my peace.
I had this when I was really B12 deficient, I hope what is causing yours is also mendable. I just take a supplement now. It would be a good idea to see if you have any symptoms of vitamin deficiency.
I still have it just for faucets, or with migraines, and I still really love music like this.
Mine is from low tone hearing loss from Semicircular Superior Canal Dihisences. Thank you for replying.
Found you on Spotify and you’re music moves me to tears. Peace and love to you.
Beautiful song! So glad a car didn’t come along before the end!
Best studio ever...
Love this song, one of my favourite hooks.
Well done.
👌❤️1️⃣♥️🎶🎶🎶
Thanks for creating beautiful music during this time.
I played a 25 min set at "the Clare Inn" an Irish bar in New Zealand... I played at 9pm and at 9pm new zealand played Fiji in a rugby sevens Olympic final and everyone left for the TV room when I started singing ha... I bet Foy Vance remembers his "open mic" days ha
I’d be glad to check out some of your music. A lot of us can relate to that :)
I wouldn't bother gigging there, - go somewhere like Portland Public House where they will listen. - had this a few times at The Clare/Munster - in fact, at the Munster they would have the TV over your head 😂
@@oliverbones8966 yea I actually find no one listens at any "open mic" at a bar... Getting proper gigs or opening for someone or something is the only way to go... I've played the portland for years I've finished several times and no one even claps ha makes me sound bad...
Absolutely lovely. What a delightful combination of instruments, melody, lyrics & voice. (I'm not used to seeing the breathing device linked to the accordion - enjoyed seeing it as a fish's mouth). Thank you both (& anyone else involved) very much. Also 'happy memory thanks' for 2 gigs in Brighton (Red Roaster & Ole Ole) a good time back.
Hi foy this song reminds me of so many people so many fantastic memories listening to this track can't wait to see you in concert in London my 8yr old is now a huge fan she loves sapling reminds her of her late nan ❤ she said she is definitely watching the concert with me so absolutely looking forward to it keep safe folks and keep creating your magic
Amazing song again. Wunnderfull vocals and great tune.
We are still pondering and debating the many layers and meaning of the song. Which is just wonderful.
Thank you. ❤
Tickets bought for March. Can’t wait to see him live ❤️
One of your best songs ever. The Highlands encapsulate the vibe of your new album so so well. Sending u much love
Word of the day
Yo tomo esta canción como una persona que quiere solamente desaparecer, siendo Christopher la esperanza de volver a vivir. Últimamente me hace falta una esperanza así para poder continuar y esta canción me da un abrazo a alma que me calma, mi garganta tiene un nudo que nunca se fue.
@ RENZOMOLINO
THOUGH MR. VANCE HAS SET THIS AMAZING BACKDROP TO A UNIVERSAL UNDERSTANDING ……
OF A UNREQUITED CAPITULATION,………
AN EMOTIONAL WOUND LEFT UNBANDAGED ……
NOT UNLIKE MY ONLY SON OF 25 YEARS…..
REFUSING TO HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH ME……..
BECAUSE I WARNED HIM OF THE DANGERS HIS RELIGIOUS CULT ARE INVOLVED IN….. NAMELY…
CHILD SEX ABUSE…..
HE REFUSED TO LOOK AT THE EVIDENCE BY THE POLICE AND COURTS…. ON THE INTERNET….
AND CLINGS TO THE SINISTER LEADERSHIP.
4 YEARS LATER…. HE STILL CONSIDERS ME HIS ENEMY………
HE IS A GOOD KID…. JUST CONFUSED….
HE NEEDS….. PERHAPS
MORE TIME…
……..” FOR TO FIGURE
IT OUT “
MEANWHILE LATELY,
THEY ARE NOW ARRESTING THOSE INVOLVED IN THIS NATIONAL COVER UP.
MAYBE…… ONE DAY….. IF HE CALLS ME…….TO APOLOGIZE…….
SOMEONE WILL WAKE ME UP TO LET ME KNOW……
UNTIL THEN
I LEAVE THE BEDROOM DOOR AJAR…….
….. SO…. IF HE SHOULD KNOCK AT THE DOOR…
…. I CAN TELL HIM…
LO PERDONO, Y
SIEMPRE HE
MANTENIDO LA
ESPERANZA….. AMEN
ANYWAY…..WE ALL SHARE SIMILAR PAINS…..
ANYWAY,
YOU SHOULD BE A WRITER MR.MOLINO……
YOU ….. HAVE A POETIC WAY WITH WORDS….
Happiest New Year to you!
God bless ,
🎼RAIN AGAIN 🎼

I have only recently discovered you and your music... I like your songs, and I feel that this one here is very special! Thank you!
Perfect Foy as always 💕💕 please come to Wales
I found out about this song 2 days ago, a friend died yesterday. JFC.....
This reminds me of an aging mother with dementia/alzheimer's. Asking to speak with her dead son. She doesn't remember he died. Just that she misses him.
¡¡Qué brutalidad!!
Magistral ❤️👊🏽
Foy gold 🎼
Love it
Lovely . Nice falsato bro.. Love it !!
💓💓💓

Okay, I thought that dude brought his pet but it's just part of his instrument.
What is the name of the instrument the other guy is playing?
I want to know too!

My buddy researched this for days cause of these guys, it’s called a shruti box
Where can I buy this exact album, beautiful...
What tuning are you using in this song man I can't seem to get it right have to ask you know when your trying to get something right
This song makes me want to bare my soul to the sun and wait for the moon to come wash it clean. Your voice makes my eyes fill with tears.
Beautifully put, April 👌❤
your words bring a tear to my eye April
Quite a touching song. If I sing the song and substiture the name Christopher with someone I lost, it almost becomes overwhelming. A beautiful song and spirit. Well done Mr. Vance.

Beautiful song, beautifully performed and beautiful scenery ❤. Please come to Chicago.
How did you capture the audio for these Highlands sessions?
I just needed a little while
Time for to figure it out
In a little quiet
I left the bedroom door ajar
I'm running out and I need for to lay my head down
Can you turn the light out for me
It doesn’t matter who it is
Don't answer the door
They only wanna ask if I'm alright
Can’t say yes anymore
But...
If Christopher calls
Wake me up and let me know
If Christopher calls
And if Christopher calls
Tell him that I held out hope
If Christopher calls
She sat out on a garden chair
Underneath the Tennessee sun
With the wind in her hair
She said I watched thе birds for a while
And they remindеd me to smile
But I knew that they'd fly before long
Can you raise the moon up for me
Doesn't matter who it is
Don't pick up the phone
They're only trying to keep me company
And I need to be alone
But...
If Christopher calls
Wake me up and let me know
If Christopher calls (Christopher calls)
And if Christopher calls
Tell him that I held out hope
If Christopher calls
(Christopher calls)
If Christopher calls (Christopher calls)
Wake me up and let me know (Christopher calls)
If Christopher calls (Christopher calls, Christopher calls)
And if Christopher calls (Christopher calls)
Tell him that I held out hope (Christopher calls)
If Christopher calls
Hermosa música.
So great! How did you record the audio? Did you use four Røde lavalier microphones and their Røde wireless transmitters?
Such a great song!
Not bad

This piece is so amazing. I have though Times not long ago and it totaly shot through me.
