Walking in the morning winds
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)
