Heaven's Fool
Walk into a wall while looking away
Demean yourself in the lies that you say
Cheat an aged half blind old man
You are a fool no defense in your hand
Giving your heart after all the deep hurt
Your glance and your wink is like diamonds in dirt
But you went there again with the smile of a lamb
And you slaughtered again with a touch of your hand
Hold out your fears to another you love
Give all your kindness like angels above
Plant a fire garden with truth and with tears
Forever and ever no fools will you bear
There is honor in innocence
There is grace in your hand
There is peaceful serenity in falling apart
In life we are seen through half closed dead eyes
The beauty we live in our own secret lies
I know you, I've seen you, I've heard your sweet cries
No fool lives within you I'm certain of this
As the child reaches up to the light of your
bliss
And you reach out to someone and innocently say
That you love them and want them in passion's soft hay
The fool is the one who you don't understand
You gave him a bounty of jejune de la
bland
The entwining of bodies the oneness sans seams
If only the place the time and the night were in
sync
With no fool I would live with a smile and a wink While
humming a tune your grace I will drink
