Lovely Fool
In the silence of your mind
You should ask yourself
What it is that makes you who are
In the valley of your soul
You should take a walk
But you never go that far
It's strange
That I should know you better than you do
You lovely fool
So strange
That everybody sees your light shine through
Except for you
In the window of your past
There's a broken pane
Reflecting all the things that make you sad
In the shadow of your fear
There's no hiding place
So why do you run there?
It's strange
That I should know you better than you do
You lovely fool
So strange
That you should want to live your whole life through
Broken and blue
You're a martyr for the cause
What the cause is I'm not sure
I'm sure it ends with no applause
Except for yours
In the church of all my dreams
I'll say a prayer
That one day you'll believe
It's strange
That I should know you better than you do
You lovely fool
So strange
That everybody sees your light shine through
Except for you
You lovely fool
