What A Fool Believes

(album: Yacht On The Rocks - 2023)

She came from somewhere back
In her long ago
Sentimental fools don't see
Trying hard to recreate
What had yet to be created
Once in her life
She musters a smile
For his nostalgic tale
Never coming near what he wanted to say
Only to realize
It never really was

She had a place in his life
He never made her think twice

But what a fool believes
He sees
No wise man has the power, the power
To reason away
What seems to be
Is always better than nothing
And nothing at all

Keep sending him somewhere back
In her long ago
Where he can still believe
There's a place in her life
Somehow, someday
She will return

She had a place in his life
He never made her think twice
As he rises to her apology
Anybody else would surely know
He's watching her go

What a fool believes
He sees
No wise man has the power
To reason away
What seems to be
Is always better than nothing
And nothing at all

What a fool believes
He sees
No wise man has the power
To reason away
What a fool believes
