Richard Dawson - The Fool Lyrics

6 s The Fool Lyrics[Verse 1]
I play the role of a fool
The townsfolk’s fulcrum of ridicule
Oft to appear through prisming beer
To the newly-arrived here
Not as I am, but how they prefer

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus 1]
Morning up, I went to their camp
A cross-eyed 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 inseparable
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
You might also like[Pre-Chorus]
At the end of a skull-lined avenue
In the almshouse catacombs
She looked me in the eyes, and sadly sighed
“My darling, I don’t want this to happen anymore”

[Chorus 2]
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

[Post-Chorus]
Down at the wharf, I watched them load
Their frightened animals aboard a waiting flyboat
I hurled my bottle of wine into its 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 sun1
