Statue of a Fool

(Jan Crutchfield)



Somewhere there should be

For all the world to see

A statue of a fool made of stone

An image of a man

Who let love slip through his hands

And then just let him stand there all alone.



And there on his face

A gold tear should be placed

To honor the million tears he cried

And the hurt in his eyes would

So everyone would know

Concealed is a broken heart inside.



So build a statue and oh,

Build it high so that all can see

Then inscribe the world's greatest fool

And name it after me...
