Life's a game for fools
and I'm a fool for you, my baby
If I could play away each day that you're away
things would be better.
Instead I sit at home and fret
regretting every word of this letter.
I try to time the time that passes by my eyes
but they get wetter.
'Cause it's oh so long
and oh so lonely
It's oh so long
and oh so lonely
But it also glows
It's all so lovely
My mama's rule was not to cry for fools
so I stay somber
The park is dark, the lights are off, the dogs don't bark
but my heart wanders
I wonder if the thunder comes a little later than the lightning
cuz it's dumber
or if time slows down when I am down
or if my eyes they do grow longer
'Cause it's oh so long
and oh so lonely
It's oh so long
and oh so lonely
But it also glows
It's all so lovely
So lonely
so lonely
so lonely
so lonely
but so lovely.
