lyrics

I’m a fool to take your love on
Like a betting man takes odds.
The horse has thrown the rider
And now is lame, unshod.
I’m a fool to see your visit
As another new affair.
And I’m a fool to think that you still care.

I’m a fool to treat your love, dear
Like an infinite resource
If I sink that well a little more,
Perhaps I’ll find the source.
I’m lapping at this offering
Like a dog without its share
And I’m a fool to think that you still care.

I’m a fool I know, I understand
So now I’ll turn around
Only to find the faces there
All laughing in the crowd.
So I’ll not linger on your beauty,
Not dwell on you I swear
Cos I’m a fool to think that you still care.

I’m a fool to sit and wonder
Like a poet in the rain.
The romance is inside
And the earnestness’s a drain.
And even if the mystery appeals
To another one somewhere
I’m a fool to think that you still care.
I’m a fool to think that you still care.

The attention to detail in the compositions. Each title represents in itself, an overall dominance and mastery of his style of songwriting. The music displayed is of the most sincere and delicate nature, from the ground upwards. billac
