Words Of A Fool - Barry Gibb, Jason Isbell

I gaze in your eyes now

But you’re not in sight

Just a picture of someone

I lie with each night

Long may love live here

You fill up my home

And though you’re not with me now

I won’t be alone

Now wisdom is fine

But the heart leads the way

And nothing can change my memory

Like a wise man I patiently wait

No matter how long

Human nature is cruel

But all hope is gone

If you don’t act on

The words of a fool

Now times may be tough

But we must survive

And I’d rather be dead with you

Than go on alive

That’s my one obsession

My Christian belief

For he who has loved and lost

Then loved he shall be

Now wisdom is fine

But the heart leads the way

And nothing can change my memories

Like a wise man I patiently wait

No matter how long

Human nature is cruel

But my love is true

If only for you

The words of a fool

And all love is true

Only to me

The words of a fool
