lirik lagu richard dawson - the fool
[verse 1]
i play the role of a fool
the townsfolk’s fulcrum of ridicule
off to appear through prisming beer
to the newly~arrived here
not as i am, but how they prefer
i saw ruth atop a dun clydesdale
in a pilgrim’s caravan
queueing at the toll~house now and
then revealed by a sheet of lightning
my heart stolen in a flash
morning up, i went to their camp
a cross~eye juvenile ushered me to the orchard
where she lay sketching the spires of the college
and bade me welcome as if we were old friends
[verse 2]
ruth and i were inseperable
over the course of that haunted spring
our midnight trysts unquietly twisted
the blade of our bodies in a wound made
several hundred lifespans ago
at the end of a skull~lined avenue
in the almshouse catacombs
she looked me in the eyes and
sadly said: “my darling
i don’t want this to happen anymore”
love is old, older than the sun
a dreadful magic, more powerful than evil
love, love is old, older than the sun
the impossible engine of a hidden world
[chorus]
down at the wharf, i watched them load
their frightened animals aboard a waiting flyboat
i hurled my bottle of wine into it’s foamy wake
and made a promise i could never not break
[outro]
love is old, older than the sun
a dreadful magic, more powerful than evil
love, love is old, older than the sun
older than the sun, oh~ah~ah~ah
love, love is old, ah~ah~ah~ah
love, love is old, ah~ah~ah
ah~ah~ah~ah~ah, ah~ah~ah
love is old, love is old
love, love is older, older than the sun
