lyrics

FOOL’S GOLD

The words I do not say

speak louder than I want them to

I don’t mean to hide from you

I don’t mean to shy from you

I live in New York
but on Pacific time
And I can’t help running so far behind
so I take the train
‘Frisco bound

with the lonely crowd
and I can’t hear a sound

pull in the station but you’re not around
guess I always had my doubts

I fell for fool’s gold
but my heart did not know
my mind was quick
but I fell for the trick
chasing fool’s gold

The words I do not say

is a place I use to dream

where you’d unfold to me
all the mysteries
treasures of my heart
and pleasures of your time

but I was left so far behind

And here at bay
tide pulling in
I wonder how you are,
wonder how you been
back in New York
where it all began

can I get a second chance?

I fell for fool’s gold
but my heart did not know
my mind was quick
but I fell for the trick
chasing fool’s gold

Fools Gold, Fools Gold

I have no intention to read your mind

No intention to spend my time

To find the faults that were yours or mine
We spent to long standing in line

I fell for fool’s gold
Despite all I was told
my eye on the prize
too tempted by times
I fell for fool’s gold
but my heart did not know
my mind was quick
but I fell for the trick
chasing fool’s gold
