Lovely fool

In the silence of your mind,
You should ask yourself
What it is that makes you who are
In the valley of your soul
You should take a walk,
But you never go that far

It's strange
That I should know you better than you do,
You lovely fool
So strange
That everybody sees your light shine through
Except for you

In the window of your past,
There's a broken pane
Reflecting all the things that make you sad
In the shadow of your fear
There's no hiding place
So why do you run there?

It's strange
That I should know you better than you do,
You lovely fool
So strange
That you should want to live your whole life through
Broken and blue

You're a martyr for the cause
What the cause is I'm not sure
I'm sure it ends with no applause
Except for yours

In the church of all my dreams
I'll say a prayer
That one day you'll believe

It's strange
That I should know you better than you do,
You lovely fool
So strange
That everybody sees your light shine through
Except for you
You lovely fool
