What Fools Believe

I met an old girl the other day We joked about how life just ebbs away She said, "What seems important now is a footnote in the end And plans," she laughed, "Well, what are they?" She'd been married for 47 years A partner, a home, and a career "Now those things are gone," she said, "I'm starting life again With these simple words I've learnt along the way" "May your heart never settle, may your feet never rest Your days be full of everything you need Don't look at the answers and then ask what's to come For all you trying fools believe what fools believe" Well, I made it home late the other day And wept at the red letters in my name But something that old lady said kept playing on my mind So I tried to smile, as I left that life behind May your heart never settle, may your feet never rest Your days be full of everything you need Don't look at the answers and then ask what's to come For all you trying fools believe what fools believe May your heart never settle, may your feet never rest Your days be full of everything you need Don't look at the answers and then ask what's to come For all you trying fools believe what fools believe May your heart never settle, may your feet never rest Your days be full of everything you need Don't look at the answers and then ask what's to come For all you trying fools believe what fools believe For all you trying fools believe what fools believe
