MONUMENTAL FOOL

 

 

 

 

 

 

A monumental fool was I

To go and leave without a word

To cut and run when things went wrong

A coward's way to say goodbye

 

I put aside the dull routine

Of mulling over what is done

It doesn’t do to harp on how

It never was but might have been

 

A broken heart is not so bad

It weaves a kind of spell

Then in my heart I’m oh so glad

That love misused me well

 

The day you called our love a bore

Had left me feeling so alone

I talk to friends and fill my days

Yet still I love you more and more

 

Our love grew colder with the years

And had to shoulder many tears

Come close don’t let me go

Oh how I need you so

That’s all I wanted you to know

 

The night before I went away

We’d never been so close before

But that’s the way things were of course

Tomorrow was another day

I still remember how it was

Yet still I need you now because

 

A monumental fool was I
