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 was apologize
Right then your eyes were healing
Healing
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
Don’t know how your music manages to hurt and heal at the same time but it does. Thank you.
I’ve been searching for a way to describe his music and this is it. ❤️❤️❤️
Perfect! Thanks!🥰
Perhaps there are people who say it is impossible to hurt and heal at the same time but it happens with Foy Vance.
I think he’s the best artist in the world. No joke. So much talent
❤️
🔥🔥🔥
Delicious top notch
Foy is hitting an ENTIRE different level with this song. Holy hell.
I could not agree more. His lyrics are so raw and hauntingly beautiful.
Heard this on his tour in 2019, song came out of nowhere and gave me chills, so glad I can finally listen to this as much as I like.
BEAUTIFULLY WRITTEN ,BEAUTIFULLY PLAYED, BEAUTIFULLY SUNG !!!!!👁💯❤ED IT !!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
it’s so unbelievably powerful. it would bring tears to my eyes if i weren’t just frozen and speechless
I have harassed all of his social media since 2019 to get this released, I know exactly how you feel
I remember way back when
I felt only yon wee
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 only song
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 tower, 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 tower, 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 tower, 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
Better to start my love, oh it's a start my love
But am I strong enough?
Ennui, not "yon wee."
I felt only ennui*
My life with a blinding light*
My labored love brought only songs
And not one of them could keep her*
I once built a burrow, I could be you a home*
The look of fear was in your eyes,
And I could see myself as a child*
I went looking inside of myself for a hope,
Found only a Sapling in search of an oak, but it’s a start, my love*
See Foy's Highland version for the actual lyrics...... this is why people shouldn't try to " interpret" lyrics..... also leave the comments so others can be educated....Willy from Ohio
I looked up his lyrics and it's actually, "I once built a bower...", which I looked up bower too and it's a pleasant shaded area
@@accessdenieddeluxe1030 what is ennui? Because yon wee makes sense its northern irish slang

This really just made my Friday a million times better. Thank you x
This song reminds me of the "Joy of nothing" album, which happens to be my favourite album!
“I’ve wanted to be stable enough to lay all of my cards on the table” and “I’m only a sapling in search of an oak but it’s a start my love” and “i once built a bower I can build you a home” 😭😭😭😭
This is a masterpiece in all aspect there is( lyrical meaning, sonic meanings, and visuals)
Such beautiful lyrics, so we'll thought. Poetic, fails to define it. Verbatim how I've been feeling lately, it spoke to me on a whole other level. Thank you.
Thank you so much just found today I needed surgery and this music is just what I needed hear to keep me feeling strong and to keep pushing me to be a greater person
I left my partner of 30 years, and wife of 20 one year ago this very week. I was defeated. I am still defeated. This song gave me hope that love does not die with the passing of one relationship, that I can be strong enough to build anew. To be the sapling once again. And to be someone's oak.
Another slice od life on keeping it together, self-searching and hope. Very pleasent song. Very soothing.
I heard this song today for the first time today. Me and my wife lost a child when we were much younger, this song and these lyrics felt so specific and validating to my feelings of that time. It's not exactly the same thing but something about the love in his voice I resonate with.
This is a masterpiece
I feel that. And your words. We are strong enough. ❤
I just found your music today. Where have you been?! I feel every word.
💜
This song hits differently. I'm all for it!
I can’t stop listening to this song, it’s a good one.
I don't know why, but I started crying at the intro. That's never happened before. Amazing song!
Its how relatable this song is. Very moving
That was absolutely beautiful!
His song writing is constantly changing, devleoping, getting deeper and stronger. The new album is a different league, incredible songs. He is the most underrated artist of our time.
True words °¬)
Never clicked on a video so fast!
me too... ✨
Can’t stop repeating, best song ever
Love the song and Vance's voice. This is a true winner but the video is frankly a distraction. That doesn't mean the video is "bad" rather they don't compliment each other. Just my opinion and such things arguably are subjective.
So damn good.
This song punches you in the gut then wipes your tears at the same time 😥
Paul was a faithful follower of Jesus Christ. When he prayed to be released from his weakness, he received this answer: “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” 2 Corinthians 12:7-10.
Everyone who is born of flesh and blood is weak, but not everyone is aware of his weakness, for they are not God-fearing. The weak person who sees the danger flees, but the strong person has exalted thoughts about himself. He does not cry out for help. It was by God’s grace that Jesus could overcome and be a spotless Lamb who could taste death for us all. (Hebrews 2:9-10) It was because of Paul’s weakness that God’s grace could be sufficient and God’s strength was perfected in him. Paul says, “But by the grace of God I am what I am …” 1 Corinthians 15:10.
BEAUTIFULLY WRITTEN, BEAUTIFULLY PLAYED, AND BEAUTIFULLY SUNG !!!👁💯❤ED IT!! 🤘

This song takes me to places I don't want to go. I would be lying if I said it doesn't give me goosebumps every time I put this record on. This song can never get old. This song doesn't bore me a single bit. Brilliant writing, Brilliant Melody.
MUCH LOVE.
I have listened to this song and was one of my favorites when it came out! Now I'm listening to it again just feeling every bit of the lyrics. This is the soundtrack for my newly spiritual journey. Thank you, Foy! So love this part...
I will look, get inside myself for a home
Find only a sapling in search of an oak
Better to start my love, oh, it's a start my love
But am I strong enough?
Mega
2021...I had to choose between going to see Foy or Judas Priest...Judas won out. This is probably the last time I will get to see him. Dude is 70 yrs old. Yeah I know there is a heck of a difference in their music from the outside but not so much different inside.
Gracias... ❤️
Never heard this song until it played in the background on American Idol - WOW is it awesome!!
Amazing! 🥰
WOW.....Power❤Passion❤Emotional .....Awesome Foy.

there are no coincidences in life. I just discovered your music and it sounds like coming home for me. Thank you for that feeling and that you made something special for others.
Got this on Spotify and bought it on iTunes. I hope Foy is compensated well for this one. Another beautiful gift he has given us to enjoy again and again.
First saw Foy at Greenbelt at Cheltenham back in the day.
Have been a fan ever since.
This song is right up there with the best.
We have a yearly pilgrimage to see him live each year.
Whether in a large Hall or a pub setting he gives it his all.
Top man.
From colombia I heard and feel your soul when I listen this songs
This is a great song and musician..I have never heard him till now...
Drowning for 3 minutes straight, only to surface full of life
