It seems like a lifetime since I saw you
Lover lover I've been away too long
When I see lovers holdings hands and sighing
I hang my head for shame of doing wrong
Bus wheels spinning, song birds singing break my heart
Take me back to old remembered days
Remind me of the times we spent together
Times before we went our separate ways
I wish I was a fool for you
I wish I was a fool for you
I wish I was a fool for you again
I'm sorry for the things I've said, the things I've done
I'm sorry for the restless thief I've been
Please don't make me pay for my deceiving heart
Just turn up your lamp and let me in
I wish I was a fool for you
I wish I was a fool for you
I wish I was a fool for you again
[Richard Thompson]
