When I first heard this song, I was compelled to purchase all of Monsieur Vance’s work. The end of the song sealed it for me… leaving me with tears on my cheeks as the “little one” sang “You are my Sunshine”. Priceless.

Devistatingly satisfying heartbreaking words!

Foy Vance always delivers, and "never" disappoints! For Vance's music is not merely heard, but it is "FELT" in the soul! Aye dear Lady! Thank you!

If theres one thing that I know
It is the 2 shades of hope
One the enlightening soul
And the other is more like a hangman's rope
Well it's true you may reap what you sow
But not that despair is the all time low
Baby, hope deals the hardest blows
There was once someone I loved
Whose heart overflowed his cup
And his shoes got covered in blood
Oh but he never knew cos he only looked up
Well he was in trouble and so
Had known pain more than most I know
Yet it was hope that dealt the hardest blows
And the girl that holds the hand
Of her somewhat distant man
Though she did everything she can
Still his heart set sail for distant lands
And she wonders sometimes if he knows
How she feels like a trampled rose
Baby, hope deals the hardest blows
Well some people think their sin
Caused the cancer thats eating into them
And the only way that they can win
Is by the healing of somebody's hands on their skin and praying
But when the cancer does not go
Baby, hope dealt the hardest blows
And now all these truths are so
With foundations below them
They were dug out in a winter's cold
When the world stole our young and preyed on the old, well
Hope deals in the hardest blows
Yet I cannot help myself but hope
I guess that's why love hurts
And heartache stings
And despair is never worse
Than the despair that death brings
But hope deals the hardest blows, dear
The hardest
Hope deals the hardest blows

I went looking for (purple) Rain. I found you there. Vulnerable and bare. I made a drink and settled up against the lyrics. I wept. I laughed. I danced alone in my living room to your melody. It's almost Dawn and I am looking for a narrow road and a revelation that may feel like hope. I need an answer. Some hint of fire in this crumbling world. Just touch me. Sing me your song. I need an answer. Do you feel for me when the light has gone out? Do you feel for me when your words don't come out right? I went looking for rain. I found myself there. You moved me. I made a drink and settled up against my shame. Somehow, I know you. I depend on you. Your rain washes against my feet. My coffee is growing cold as I listen to your song. I kneel, an anchor, you're washing over me. Like Holy water. I need an answer. I need an answer. Is there a reason for this chaos that burns so close to home. Is there a reason I need to throw stones? Is there a reason my heart is breaking? I need your arms around me. I need to know forgiveness. Do you feel feel for me when the lights have gone out? Do you feel me when the rain is pouring down? I need an answer... I need an answer.

A wonderful song ... and a wonderful written comment. I really hope you will get your answers someday.
