Lyrics
Such A Fool
Verse
What did I do, When leaving you,
How could I ever be such a fool?
How could I know the cold winds would blow
Across my lonely life so cruel?
Chorus
Now in the still I hear you speak, Long, lonely nights call out your name
And each lost romance haunts there?s none to take your place
There was an image to achieve, You didn?t fit; I?m so ashamed
Now every distant crowd pretends to hold your face
Vs.
Little blue eyes. Blonde, bronzed - so shy! Wee tikes reminding me of you
They should have been ours ? the moon and the stars
Don?t make up your mind, you fool, you lose!
Chorus
Now in the still I hear you speak, Long, lonely nights call out your name
And each lost romance haunts there?s none to take your place
There was an image to achieve, You didn?t fit; I?m so ashamed
Now every distant crowd pretends to hold your face
Bridge
Old Father Time review my past, Smile kindly at last, Undo lots now cast
Please send me a glance, I?ve figured it out,
New steps I can dance, I?ll make it no doubt
The majesty of life?s slippery slope is unending hope, How else can I cope
The memories of old so long, long ago,
Still pierce at my soul and whisper, ?No more?
But what are wounds if not to learn, Though bruises should heal, not sting and still burn
Please rescue my fall and catch me with wings, My broken heart sings
½ Verse
What did I do, When leaving you
How could I ever be such a fool?
