I love Foy Vance, his album got me through a month in hospital with jaundice. His songs are hauntingly beautiful and in the years that have followed, I find myself comforted by the lyrics at difficult times in life 💕

At Least My Heart Was Open Foy Vance Well, I tried to do what I felt was right And I know I fucked it up sometimes But at least my heart was open You're the one that crossed the line But you could not go the extra mile So I did what you were hoping And at least my heart was open At least my blood's still pumping I know that it wants some time Burning I have known your love and I have known your hate I watched you devastate to liberate Oh, but every moment's golden And though our withered arms entwined was not your fate Now we can't be lovers, friends or even mates Well, your chance has come unfolding Because every moment's golden I did what you were hoping And at least my heart was open At least my blood's still pumping I know that it wants some time If you get out of this nightmare And think to call me To tell me how somebody broke your heart Don't try, I won't be there Cause when we ended I found somebody new that I can start with She's younger Her and I, we never really wanna be apart You're my craft and my sullen art [Outro] Oh, I was far from perfect But I tried to do what I felt was right And I know I fucked it up sometimes But at least my heart was open

[@bvspencer]

These lyrics are wrong. I know you pulled from them from a website, but every website has them wrong. Some websites I've seen even screw up the "watched you devastate to liberate", but at least they're right here. He's not saying "I know it wants some time." He's saying "I know it won't some time," referring to his blood will eventually stop pumping. And he doesn't say "burning" after that. It's "aye-ah" or a variation of that (or "mmmhmm" in at least one live version). It's "withered hands", not "withered arms." And it's "your chance has come, I'm foldin'", not "unfolding." And as others have said "my craft and my sullen art" is a reference to a Dylan Thomas poem. So the corrected lyrics (with brackets for variations in other live performances) are: Well I tried to do what I felt was right And I know I fucked it up sometimes But at least my heart was open And you're the one that crossed the line But you could not go the extra mile So I did what you were hopin' And at least my heart was open At least my blood's still pumpin' I know that it won't some time Aye-ah... [mmmhmmm] Well I have known your love and I have known your hate [And] I have watched you devastate to liberate Ah, but every moment's golden And though our withered hands entwined was not your [our] fate [Darlin'] Well now we can't be lovers, friends or even mates Well, your chance has come, I'm foldin' Because every moment's golden I did what you were hoping And at least my heart was open And at least my blood's still pumpin' I know that it won't some time Aye-ah... If you get out of this nightmare And think to call me To tell me how somebody broke your heart Don't try, I won't be there Cause when we ended I found somebody new that I can start with She's younger Her and I, we never really wanna be apart You're my craft and my sullen art Oh, I was far from perfect But I tried to do what I felt was right And although I fucked it up sometimes Well at least my heart was open
