Walking in the morning winds As I stare up at the clouds Slowly bring myself to rest Near a peaceful plain Hoping and waiting for some sign Anything will do I just wander in my soul In the search for you You would say "Please, please just go away And let your mind forget About this dreary day." Just one day in the life of a fool Just one day in the life of a fool The afternoon will pass my by As I reach the wall That stretches out across the land That I knew so well And in a garden there All the flowers bloom Reminders of a growing rose Always full of thorns You would say "Please, please don't cry this way" Slowly turn As the Moon shows her face Just one day in the life of a fool Just one day in the life of a fool In the life of a fool In the life of a fool Darkness drapes itself on me As I'm heading home Carrying roses in my hands I'm thinking of you How you smiled And kissed my face Thought I heard you I thought I heard you say Just one day in the life of a fool Just one day in the life of a fool Just one day in the life of a fool Just one day in the life of a fool Just one day Just one day in the life of a fool Just one day in the life of a fool Just one day
