Tomorrow's Fool

(Album: Gamble For A Rose - 2016)

I will be a fool today
I'm scared of what tomorrow brings
Tears will flow, I'll beat myself
But I'm too proud to ever change

Lord give me the strength to be
A man who could never be loved
Fearful, reckless, lazy, thoughtless,
Charmless traits betide my mind

Money buys the easy life
The easy life
Ain't easy at all

Pride is kept from questioning
His gatekeeper is arrogance
Wise men preach with healing words
The wicked teach cutting remarks

Beware romantic gestures
Are investments in your vanity
I hope I'm not too despicable
To bring ruin to love's purity

No sound of love will deafen me
No sound of love will deafen me
No resounding gong will echo here
No resounding gong will echo here

When I'm in turmoil
When I'm in turmoil

No sound of love will deafen me
No sound of love will deafen me
No resounding gong will echo here
No resounding gong will echo here

I will be a fool today
I'm scared of what tomorrow brings
Tears will flow, I'll beat myself
But I'm too proud to ever change
