River of Fools

Memories of a lonely past

A boat set into the wind

Drifting lost in waters of doubt

On a journey that has no end

Torn and faded photographs

A chest full of old goodbyes

Tear streaked faces by the light of the moon

Here on a river of fools

Here on a river of fools

A trio of angels holding candles of light

Guide the ship to an unknown shore

Sad soul riders with arms drawn tight

As they stopped for just one more

Fingers pointed to a star in the sky

A message from someone they can't see

Tear streaked faces by the light of the moon

Here on a river of fools

Here on a river of fools

Traveling along a cloudy path

With a wing, a heart, and a prayer

Pieces fall from the heavens above

To a place they know not where

A string of beads in trembling hands

Headed close to the judgment day

Tear streaked faces by the light of the moon

Here on a river of fools

Here on a river of fools

Tear streaked faces by the light of the moon

Here on a river of fools

Here on a river of fools
