09 Fool's Gold
Am
You know the story, sure you've read it before
about a person, who'd built a life worth living for
Came through some tough times, fought the hardship and doubt
and just when they had everything figured out
Something quite heavy came a rolling their way
smashed it to pieces and blew it all away
A wound with the salt in (heals faster)
It's roping the fun in (or disaster)
It's gone with the donning it can't stay O-ooh-O
Rolling me sober (The gravity)
You can't let it squelch you - hey
It dampens the party - hey yeah !
Ooh - The other shoe's falling again
Just when it feel's too good
there's disappointment round the bend, I'm sure
Oooh - With expectations held low
your misfortune, woe, and disappointment kept at bay
It's all fool's gold
When life is something like a dream
you fear it torn out of your hands
then hesitation marks each day
left afraid to celebrate
Maybe I'm a sad old Optimist
or worse yet,a happy pessimist
I'm left with a half cup either way
So count on happy to sing refrain
AND! to bring the bane
It's best to just chalk it to what no one can retain,
cause we hold nothing.
But still hope and look for a brighter day
it's difficult but turn your face away
Just turn away
it's not put there for staring, but to light your way
The sun it turns and burns too brightly
It's good to have both day and nightly
Not too close or far away
Here in the middle it's good to stay, this way.
It's good to stay this, stay, stay this way.
