What A Fool



I look out and see no fork in the road

only one way to go as I leave this sleepy town,

I look back and see eyes so cold

as I try to slip away without a sound.



Out on the horizon there are new adventures

new fires to burn before they become embers,

we both knew this day would come

"Darn girl" don't look that way, It was fun.



Look at the mountains as they call to me

beckoning me to see more beauty,

"Now wait a minute" I never said this was just a fling

but on the other hand, I never promised anything.



The sun is rising and I need to go

all I have to do is pull the door handle,

now I see a tear slowly stream down your cheek

"Lord I have to be strong" not weak.



Don't you see it? The world is calling

I can't let my heart go falling,

"God she's so beautiful"

so wonderful.



Memories come flooding back

as I look out down the track,

a warmth flows through me

as I turn around and bathe in her beauty.



Her smile and her arms are open

the happiness I see, with more than hoping,

"God she's so beautiful"

really life has been wonderful.



Echo's of crying as the door closes behind

only this time, the tears are mine,

looking back upon reflect

I knew,

"I was a fool"
