The Fool

The Fool

I am, in my heart, a beholder of dreams, 
A keeper of hope that faith holds supreme. 
I cling to our love long ago torn apart
And, yes, you have her ... but I have the stars. 
And here 'neath the sky in the realm of the moon
(Where tonight's desperate song sings yesterday's tune)
I'll choose me a star and I'll pluck me a wish, 
I'll have me that dream and I'll pray for its kiss. 
Yet seizing desire from these opulent dreams
Does nothing but open the scars it seems
And I drink only pain from goblets of hope, 
So, if I will hang then it be I weave the rope!

Oh the fool! The fool, the fool  that I be 
For ever so thinking you ever loved me.
