Lyrics Sapling - Foy Vance

Sapling

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 sees her
I was on the road too long
My labored lover only some
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?
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 to 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 became but I wanna be able
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 to 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
I will look, get inside myself for a home
Find only a sapling in search of an ode
Better to start my love, oh, yeah to start my love
Am I strong enough?
