lyrics

A Broken Fool

There is a man who sheds no tears
Who walks in shadows as if in fear
Just another clown to his own King Lear
Walk a mile with a broken fool.

He thinks that love is a false emotion
A clichéd word best left unspoken
A wretched thing, a pointless token
Walk a mile with a broken fool.

Chorus
And all this fool ever knew
Was no woman could stay true
So he walks with a broken mind
Opened eyes: blinkered & blind.

He's a man who counts the cost
Of the woman he loved but lost
Who’s life is cold - an early frost
Walk a mile with a broken fool.

Chorus

(Instrumental)

His heart is winter, always austere
As he walks alone from year to year
His soul as dark as a midnight clear
Walk a mile with a broken fool.

Chorus

There is a man who takes a pride
In never ever feeling inside
I am that man and I cannot hide
Walk a mile with a broken fool
Walk a mile with a broken fool
Walk a mile with this broken fool.
