Fools

you'd give your whole world
to me-
anything that i'd ask for
you'd do-

i love you more than
time the universe can buy

i care for you more than
red cross nurses can supply

what are we but mere fools
stuck on top this merry-go-round
circling the years of our life
finding the things to which we're bound

the same weight that keeps me grounded
is the same weight that sets me free
hope is all that's left for you
but who knows what we'll renew

maybe we're just not ready
to be loved
maybe we're just not ready
for what's undreamed of

i guess i'll just have to wait
and see the next fish that bites my bait
but what do i do now
knowing that you took the vows?
