Merely Just a Fool
Merely just a fool
Destined to this lonely beach
in search of some lost hope
My footprints stagger in the sand,
these moments hard to cope
Neath palm tree shadows sorrowed dance
a’ swaying in the sun
I linger back to better days
as if this one were done
Despair among the waves does bring
an ocean brisk and cold
Now of this soul, a wanderer,
a solitude foretold
For on that day you kissed me soft
and said forever true
You took this man along the way
to fall in love with you
My smile reborn a thousand times,
so happy I would be
To think, an angel such as you
would come and walk with me
Till on that night, the moon so full,
I gazed horizons deep
Between the trails of fallen tears
my worried eyes did weep
I watched you holding hands with him,
as twinkling stars did shine
Never looking back at me,
no longer were you mine
You fooled me once, that was enough
my dreams now torn apart
As I am merely just a fool,
who wears a broken heart
