about
This recording includes my foot bass, my baritone English concertina (Morse Geordie), and my singing. And the cockatoo joins in with a scream or two, near the end. Be ready for it!
Update: I'll do another version of this because I've added a verse since this one.
lyrics
Hand Over The Hope - by Wendy Stanford
I want to leave, leave, leave like my joie de vivre
You know, it never came back
On a better day, I’ll find an easy way
Maybe have that heart attack
I could just quit holding on
To hope against all hope,
Lose my grip and finally slip
Past the last inch of my rope...
Nope.
Not for me! That’s not my style
Give me an inch so I can take a mile
Of that golden strand hand-over-hand,
To the sky… I’ve got to try!
Maybe even let go and fly
Climb high, let go and fly
Let go and fly...
Hand me that hope
Hand over the hope
Hand me that hope
Hand over the hope
(repeat)
Well, no one ever said life’s a flower bed
With no thorn on the rose
Still, an angel-light greater than the night
Falls wherever darkness grows...
(etc.)
