Like a Fool

I want to love you like a fool Where reason wouldn’t play count up all my precious things and throw them all away I want to love you like a war where soldier meets the grave fighting for the breath that’s left and dying to be saved I want to love you like a king a brave and noble knight laying down his crown and sword to offer you his rite I want to love you like the sea angry waves of white crashing on the sailors stern with all of waters might I want to love you like a drug coursing in the vein selling all I could become to loose myself again I want to love you like I’m mad driven to insane howling at the hollow moon naked in the rain I want to love you like a fire devouring the night burning like the devil's den and pure as angel light I want to love you like the wolf crouching out of site hungry like an empty field and thirsty for the fight I want to love you like a drunk whose mouth he cannot tame spilling all his thoughtless thoughts with ever more to say I want to love you like a storm break the weather vane flatten trees on mountain tops drown you in the rain I want to love you like a fool not - embarrassed or ashamed trading every reason’s doubt for all I can’t contain
