Lovely Fool - Jack Savoretti

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
