Fool Who Knows

Ry Cooder · Other Songs - Ry Cooder

Well a love won't last the night if it's built on sand

If it's built on rock there ain't nothing that it can't withstand

I guess you know by now how this story goes

A very true story, take it from a fool who knows



I was high as a bird in the sky in the month of may

With a true fine love all mine forever and one day

Now my eyes overflowing with the memories such as those

They're tear-stained memories, take it from a fool who knows



Now my tears are falling and I feel the pain

Here comes all that hurt again

But while my heart keeps beating I'll go on repeating

The same mistakes that I did before

The ones that made me walk the floor

I've got a sack full of those, take it from a fool who knows



But well my tongue gets tired I 'll be getting wired

While my heart keeps beating I 'll go on repeating

The same mistakes that I did before

The ones that made love walk out the door

I got a sack full of those that I'll keep digging into

A lonesome road with a cold wind blowing

The path I chose, take it from a fool who knows
