LONELY FOOL

Took a walk today, and met a man
Who looked a lot like me
Yet he had no face, he'd lost his place
In reality
Looked into his eyes, and saw a guy
That I used to know
Looking back at me, if he knew
He didn't let it show

Just turn and walk away
Live for another day
I heard the angel voices say to me
Don't try to change her way
Just turn and walk away
Remembering the day
I felt her reaching out to me
Then pulling far away
She turned and walked away

Saw a play today, and the star
Looked a lot like you
When the curtain fell, the actor stood
Still waiting for her cue
And the words she used, I heard before
They were nothing new
As the lights went out, a tear rolled down
From a lonely fool
