Fools Like Us

A certain summer morning
A window opened wide
When without a warning
A sparrow flew inside
Beating heart and wing
Against a pane of glass
Needlessly suffering
Surrendering at last
And if you're feeling badly
Go on if you must
But know that love will gladly
Suffer fools like us
You and I had argued
Late into the night
For reasons only God knew
But come the morning light
Close the open window
Open wide these doors
Love is but a sparrow
That we set free once more
So if you're feeling badly
Go on if you must
But know that love will gladly
Suffer fools like us
