Only a Fool

Only a fool to stick by your side
Struck by your change of heart
Straight into your arms
Like a newborn child
Straight into those open arms
I'm only a fool to stick by your side
Struck by your change of heart
Every day and every night
Try as I might
You're my black and you're my white
I've got eyes on you
Like you want me to
So I creep by your side no great surprise
All for your sweet surrender
the morning stands still
won't let me in
and nobody hears me try
I need you, I need you
Oh I need you
Like I need salt in my water-
Salt in my wounds ,but I stay
Cos I'm only a fool
To stick by your side
Struck by that changing heart
Straight into your arms,
Your broken arms
Straight into your open arms,
I never look behind
Cos Im only a fool,
I'm only a fool
