Foy Vance - Two Shades Of Hope lyrics

If there's one thing that I know It is that two 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's once someone I loved Whose heart overflowed his cup And his shoes got covered in blood Oh but he never knew Cause he only looked up Well he was a troubled soul Who'd known pain more than most I know Yet it was hope that dealt the hardest blows And the girl that holds the hand of Of a somewhat distant man Though she did everything she can Still his heart set sail for a distant land And she wonders sometimes if he knows How she feels like a trampled rose Baby, hope deals the hardest blows Aaah oooh baby Oooh, oh oh Well some people think their sin Caused the cancer that's eating into them And the only way they can win Is by the healing of somebody's hands on their skin But when the cancer does not go Baby hope dealt the hardest blows And now all these truths are sold With foundations below them That were dug out in winter's cold When the world stole our young and prayed 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's never worse Than the despair that earth brings But hope deals the hardest blows, dear The hardest... Hope deals the hardest blows
