Fool's Game

It's a fool's fool's game Lover that we have to play Crashing into each other No convalescing It's a leap of faith Lover that we blindly take I'm taking it with you and no other No hesitating And if our minds they go And our bones they shatter We'll put it on nobody But ourselves It's an old refrain Lover that we hear again Urging a cautious measure Sounding a warning It's a thin escape Lover that we hope to make When we're beaten broken and battered Beyond consoling And the breezes blow And to the winds we're scattered And we're fending for nobody But ourselves It's a fool's fool's game When you've nothing but a heart to break Better keep on breaking it lover Until it opens It's a speeding train Beating through the pouring rain With no way to slow or stop it And the tracks are broken Like a rising wave Through the storms we gather And we're falling on nobody But ourselves
