Fountain Of Fools
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I was raised on true compassion
Gingerbread ‘n’ a poor excuse
Badly drawn to every drop-out
Tossin’ coins in the fountain of fools
I started out with empty pockets
I bought the rumours ‘n’ sold the news
I built me up a reputation
For tossin’ coins in the fountain of fools
I saw the last of marie last winter
She seemed deprived from the gift to loose
A touch of finance ‘n’ a drop of pitty
For tossin’ coins in the fountain of fools
Well, I spent my life. I lost a fortune
Chasin’ rainbows for all she knew
But I’m just a creature of narrow habits
Tossin’ coins in the fountain of fools
I got a boy safe with marie now
I hear he’s doing allright in school
Makes me proud he’s got a daddy
Who’s tossin’ coins in the fountain of fools
Some fine day I’m gonna teach my boy
‘Bout gingerbread ‘n’ a poor excuse
How to be careful what to wish for
When tossin’ coins in the fountain of fools
