lyrics

I never warmed to fake fireplaces
I never heard an album by Tom
But there I was at last with my true one
To find transcendence there in her arms
There'd been all that time that I'd wished she were her mine
But it hadn't worked out that way
Imagined us walking - the people would talk
And then nothing can crush that fate

I'm a fool for a feeling
A tool for the fall

We steered a ship through spring and midsummer
And I ignored the clouds in our sky
A mighty fate had brought us together
So all the storms were bound to go by
Nirvana was out there but slowly the doubt
Was unveiling across her face
And I couldn't tell that she saw it so well
And we needn't prolong the chase

Of a fool for a feeling
And a tool for the fall

And now I'm cool with fake fireplaces
I got those songs of Tom in my soul
I got some dreams to guide me forever
But I would never let them control
Nirvana was out there but slowly the doubt
Was unveiling across her face
And I couldn't tell that she saw it so well
And we needn't prolong the chase

Of a fool for a feeling
And a tool for the fall

I'm the fool for a feeling
And a tool for the fall
And a tool for the fall
