Song | I Was a Fool |
Artist | Roman Candle |
Album | Oh Tall Tree in the Ear |
Out in the evening past the bridge and below | |
frogs and cicadas left and right growling low. | |
I've spent so much time round here when spring is done | |
been here a thousand times, not heard a single one. | |
Birds in the morning while I'm shoveling the snow | |
coffee pot wheezing soft as my stereo | |
All of the things I've had whether I've known or not | |
All of the things I've known and then somehow forgot | |
When I was young riding aound | |
beer in my lap, one window down | |
bird in the tree, kiss on the mouth | |
I thought that I had figured it out | |
I was a fool. Then I met you. | |
Dusk was the longest hour when I was a kid. | |
Beautiful things sometimes can seem pretty hid. | |
Funny the things that make you want to walk the land | |
are the things sometimes you barely understand. | |
Found lots of crooked road before I found you | |
hard to curse any road but sometimes you do. | |
Feeling all strung out, drawn up from head to gut | |
I was calling out, I didn't know for what | |
When I was young riding aound | |
beer in my lap, one window down | |
bird in the hand, kiss on the mouth | |
I thought that I had figured it out | |
All of these things so hard to find | |
up in my face, lost to my mind | |
hand on the knee, kiss in the mouth | |
I thought that I had figured it out | |
I was a fool. |
