"April Fool" lyrics

"April Fool"

I'm just a fool for April
There's nothing more to say
Long as I can remember
She's led my heart astray

When I was green as willow
She had me ditchin' school
And even then she tricked me
I'm just an April Fool

She tangles dogwood blossoms
Into her yellow hair
She uses the same perfume
The Smoky Mountains wear

She keeps the flame of summer
'Round her neck like a jewel
She breezes in to see me
And I'm an April Fool

She entrances me
And she dances me
And she flies me like a kite
And I soon forget she's only come to play

Then there comes a day
When she will not say
And I lie awake at night
Hoping next time... April May

When I walked up this morning
April had up and gone
And it was clear as water
She'd only led me on

And it will be next winter
Before my heels will cool
And then I will forgive her
I'm just an April Fool

She knows I will forgive her
I'm just and April Fool
