Closed Hand, Full of Friends (Live)

Closed Hand, Full Of Friends - Foy Vance

The scenerys changing and it warms my soul

I'm 200 miles down and a long way yet to go

So get your boots on and your walking coat

And well together leave our footprints out upon the virgin snow

That ancient sunrise will soon descend

And well be left here pondering on the things which we can depend

So let's start over with no means to an end

Just an open-hearted hope and a closed hand full of friends

Yeah well london was alright but I was dead in the water

Couldn't see it in its light I couldn't kneel in its altar

All I wanted was to tear it right down to the ground

But I'm feeling alright now yeah I'm feeling alright

Every morning when the coffees on

And I rediscover that color in your eyes in its gold and its bronze

And in the moonlight we'll get the candles going

With the recitations of the parish poets popping on our tongues

Yeah well london was alright but I was dead in the water

Could see its light I couldn't kneel in its altar

All I wanted was to tear it right down to the ground

And it stank from the feet of it's culture

I'd hide away from wolves and the vultures

All they wanted was to tear me right down to the ground

Oh I'm feeling alright I am now yeah I'm feeling alright

Alright alright alright alright

In the recitations of the parish poets

In the buildings in the burrows in the loch tay boats

I will find my means to an end

With an open-hearted hope and a closed hand full of friends

In the recitations of the parish poets

In the buildings in the burrows in the loch tay boats

I will find my means to an end

With an open-hearted hope and a closed hand full of friends

In the recitations of the parish poets

In the buildings in the burrows in the loch tay boats

I will find my means to an end

With an open-hearted hope and a closed hand full of friends

In the recitations of the parish poets

In the buildings in the burrows in the loch tay boats

I will find my means to an end

With an open-hearted hope and a closed hand full of friends
