Lyrics

Only A Fool
T.Thibaud, Hill West Music, 2003

Well the New England cold was making me old, leaving me nothing but mean
I was out in the back under attack, from a north wind bending the trees
And the birds that I’d know had already flown with no sentimental goodbyes
And the things I believed conspired to leave me with thoughts that I’d rather deny

‘Cause only the world moves on
And only a martyr could love to die
And only God knows what it all means
And only a fool would ask why

Well yesterday’s news was lit like a fuse and everything started to turn
I was out of myself, a book on a shelf wondering ‘bout something I learned
The promise it said was farther ahead and everyone wanted to go
But ghosts from the past like hurricane blasts scatter the seeds that we sow

‘Cause only the world moves on
And only a martyr could love to die
And only God knows what it all means
And only a fool would ask why

Well the books that I’ve read sit by the bed, they help me to get through the day
And if words are a drug my grave has been dug, ‘cause I can’t seem to put them away
Now yesterdays plans, like dirt on my hands remind me there’s more to be done
I pray that the youth might look for the truth and hope it’s already begun

‘Cause only the world moves on
And only a martyr could love to die
And only God knows what it all means
And only a fool would ask why
