Richard ThompsonAbout
Richard Thompson wrote this song when he was 19, and recorded it with FC when he was 20. It is beyond beautiful: the words, vocal harmonies, and the wild, wandering sickness of the guitar solo. If this doesn’t change your frame, I don’t know what to tell you.
Tale in Hard Time Lyrics
Thompson
Take the sun from my heart
Let me learn to despise
I'll show you another who cannot tell lies
The blind man can't see
Who demands to his eyes
I'll show you another who sings as he cries
I cannot be whole
As the beggar who sighs
I'll show you another who knows as he dies
