Just Another Fool

When everything's been said and done
It ain't about the wars you won
Or the gold you carry to your grave
Well I for one, I've got my dreams
My two good feet and a boat downstream
And a world awaiting in the distant haze

The fires burn and smoke and fly in sparks
So many things lay hidden in the dark
I guess I'm just another fool
Drifting on a broken sea, no compass and no rules

Some things are better left alone
The ocean deep, the desert sun
The loneliness that no one can outrun
I once was true, but now I fear
All that's left of dreams and prayers
The heart makes promises it don't mean to keep

The fires burn and smoke and fly in sparks
So many things lay hidden in the dark
I guess I'm just another fool
Drifting on a broken sea, no compass and no rules

I'm getting out of here
The wind is blowing strong, my dear
I'll button up my coat and leaving you here for a while
And I'm coming back when the moon is new
I'll bring you roses and presents too
No sad goodbyes, no long adieus

The fires burn and smoke and fly in sparks
So many things lay hidden in the dark
I guess I'm just another fool
Drifting on a broken sea, no compass and no rules

I'm on my way, oh Lord
The wind is blowing, all aboard
And in a while I will be by your side
'Cause I'm coming back when the moon is new
I'll bring you roses and presents too
No sad goodbyes, no long adieus
