You Were The Fool

(album: 12 Golden Country Greats - 1996)

Bless the father bless the son
Cross your heart cos you're the one
Collecting moon-beams in the morning

Curvy sticks and wooden poles
Assisting you in plugging holes
Plug them holes till you see
Straight through to the mind's eye

Think about it turn around
And go back to the quiet sound
Of Jim and Dan prancing round the pool
You were the fool
And I feel sorry for you
You were the fool
But there's something you can do

You can wash your arm in a pool of mud
You can chop a tree prevent a flood
You can speak with a turtle just by flipping him around

You can build a boat sail the sea
You can buy a moat forge a key
Initiate the sequence create catastrophe

Think about it turn around
And go back to the quiet sound
Of Jim and Dan prancing round the pool
You were the fool
And I feel sorry for you
You were the fool
But there's something you can do

Bless the father bless the son
Cross your heart cos you're the one
Collecting moon-beams in the morning

Curvy sticks and wooden poles
Assisting you in plugging holes
Plug them holes till you see
Straight through to the mind's eye

Think about it turn around
And go back to the quiet sound
Of Jim and Dan prancing round the pool
You were the fool
And I feel sorry for you
You were the fool
But there's something you can do
You were the fool
