Foolish Games
Jewel on Rosie

At about the same time that I first heard these words set to music as written and performed by Jewel, I was inspired to write a poem describing a recent significant personal change in my life. Dare I assume that someone might take some inspiration from my words!? Please take the time to read them. Thank-you!


Jewel Kilcher

  You took your coat off and stood in the rain,
  You were always crazy like that
  
  I watched from my window,
  always felt I was outside looking in on you
  You were always the mysterious one
  with dark eyes and careless hair,
  You were fashionably sensitive, but too cool to care
  Then you stood in my doorway, with nothing to say
  besides some comment on the weather
  Well in case you failed to notice,
  In case you failed to see,
  This is my heart bleeding before you,
  This is me down on my knees
  
  These foolish games are tearing me apart
  Your thoughtless words are breaking my heart
  You're breaking my heart

Sexy Jewel

  You were always brilliant in the morning
  Smoking your cigarettes, talking over coffee
  Your philosophies on art, Baroque moved you,
  You loved Mozart and you'd speak of your loved ones
  As I clumsily strummed my guitar
  You'd teach me of honest things
  Things that were daring, things that were clean
  Things that knew what an honest dollar did mean
  So I hid my soiled hands behind my back
  Somewhere along the line I must've gone off track with you
  Excuse me, think I've mistaken you for somebody else
  Somebody who gave a damn,
  Somebody more like myself
  
  These foolish games are tearing me apart
  Your thoughtless words are breaking my heart
  You're breaking my heart
  
  You took off your coat and stood in the rain,
  You were always crazy like that
