Foolish Man

I feel like a child

Feel as if I might have grown up wild

And I feel like a fool

Feel as if I didn't do well at school

And I keep expecting things that don't happen

Should but they don't

Could but they won't

And I don't see

No I don't see

Just don't understand

I must be such a foolish man

And I would laugh. If I could laugh

But it's so damn close to the bone

Would make you feel alone

And time just flies

Yes it does

Seems like fortunes moment

Passes

And free from the weight of masses

But I keep expecting, things that don't happen

Should but they don't

Could but they won't

And I don't see

No I don't see

I just don't understand

I must be such a Foolish Man
