The Fool Songtext

von Ethan Johns

One day and it won't be soon
You're gonna have me actin' like a fool
Dancin' in the shadows of the moon
Oh, how hard you fell
I could tell you what we share but you don't know me well
The hours passing promise in the night
Put the water to my lips
And the palace falls to bits
And I hope you never grow so hollow as this
One day and it won't be soon
You're gonna catch me actin' like a fool
Howlin' at the shadows in the moon
Well, I don't care what anybody says
It don't make no difference anyway
I'll show you both sides of my face
Oh, it's best you don't look back
The past is strewn with falsehoods built to trap
And I'll vanish in the turning of the day
Let the truth pass through my lips
And the castle falls to bits
And it's better gone than here
'Cause there's nothin' left to fear
One day and it won't be soon
You're gonna have me actin' like a fool
And I'll vanish in the turning of the moon
I'll vanish in the turning of the moon
