lyrics

Love Has Made A Fool Of Me Again

I met her on the road to love
Just at the darkest part
She was wearing velvet elbow length gloves
And was carrying a bleeding heart

Come here and shelter under my wings
Lay aside your fear
We’ll watch the evening star
Ascend in our rear view mirror

It’s true, I said, I am alone
And I’m longing for your touch
I’d give you everything I own
But it would never be enough

I plucked a feather from her wing
A tear fell from her eye
I saw the evening star
Ascending in the sky

The devil is a handsome man
With many handsome friends
Thanks to you
Love has made a fool of me again

I put the feather in my cap
And walked on down the road
I came across a crooked man
Carrying a heavy load

Please, he said, can you lend a hand
And take this weight from me?
You’re a young and handsome man
And I am old, as you can see

I’m strong, I said, I’ll take your weight
Your journey’s almost done
But take this feather in exchange
It’s heavier than the sun

And so I took his weight from him
And he took mine from me
He walked towards the mountains
And I walked towards the sea

The devil is a handsome man
With lots of gold to spend
Thanks to you
Love has made a fool of me again

I walked that road all night long
Until I came to an empty beach
The ocean shone in the light of dawn
And the seagulls whirled and screeched

Here’s a place I can call my home
I’ll never have to leave
I’ll build a house and live alone
By the golden empty sea

Years went by and nothing changed
I lived quite happily
Until one uneventful day
I saw a feather on the breeze

I plucked the feather from the wind
And held it in my hand
I saw the old man and the angel
Lying naked in the sand

The devil is a handsome man
From the beginning to the end
Thanks to you
Love has made a fool of me again
