Prince Of Fools

(album: Night Flight - 1978)

It doesn't seem so long ago
You were here and I was whole
I'm weaker since you went away
I could've made you stronger if you stayed
You told me that you'd been around
And I was the best thing that you'd ever found
Well, how can something be so right
And turn to nothing overnight
If you could, you were thinking it good

Broke in two
And hoping to hide
Thinking you had time on your side
Prince of fools
You'd better make up your mind

Empty promises, unspoken lines
Well, they kept me hanging for a time
But now your time is running out on you
And if you really want to make it true somehow
Well, it's got to be now
Oh, why, why can't you see
What you're doing to people like me
And would you change it if you could
You know I don't think you would
But it's true that I did it for you

Broke in two
And hoping to hide
Thinking you had time on your side
Prince of fools
You'd better make up your mind
