Fool's Parade

I can't believe that it's time to leave
With so much left unsaid
At best the situation's very strange
And here am I just coming on
Girl, like some bad book you read
And who am I to put you through this change...
And I'm wondering what was lost and what was made
(So in love)
Why I'm so in love yet so afraid
Baby I've been betting on
Cards that ain't been played
(Here I am)
Here I am again, leading the fool's parade
Romantics die untimely deaths
And never know who won
But even knowing that I'd like the chance
I just need to hold your body next to mine
Woman warm you like the sun
I'm like some schoolboy that you promised
The last dance...
And I'm wondering what was lost and what was made
(So in love)
Why I'm so in love yet so afraid
Baby I've been betting on
Cards that ain't been played
(Here I am)
Here I am again, leading the fool's parade
The visions sometimes frighten me
Unless they're cut with wine
Kind words are unusual
Better just give me some time
And if you're gonna bring me down
Just do the best you can
What's the use of doing things half-way...
And I'm wondering what was lost and what was made
(So in love)
Why I'm so in love yet so afraid
Baby I've been betting on
Cards that ain't been played
(Here I am)
Here I am again, leading the fool's parade
(leading the fool's parade)
(Here I am)
Here I am again leading the fool's parade
(leading the fool's parade)
Here I am again leading the fool's parade
(leading the fool's parade)
(Here I am)
Second time leading the fool's parade
(leading the fool's parade)
(Here I am)
One more time leading the fool's parade
