"What Fools Believe" lyrics

"What Fools Believe"

I met an old girl the other day
We joked about how life just ebbs away
She said what seems important now is a footnote in the end
And plans she laughed, well what are they?

She'd been married for forty-seven years
A partner, a home and a career
"Now those things are gone", she said
"I'm starting life again"
With these simple words I've learnt along the way

May your heart never settle
May your feet never rest
Your days be full of everything you need
Don't look at the answers and then ask what's to come
For all your trying fools believe what fools believe

Well I made it home late the other day
And wept at the red letters in my name
But something that old lady said kept playing on my mind
So I tried to smile, as I left that life behind

May your heart never settle
May your feet never rest
Your days be full of everything you need
Don't look at the answers and then ask what's to come
For all your trying fools believe what fools believe

May your heart never settle
May your feet never rest
Your days be full of everything you need
Don't look at the answers and then ask what's to come
For all your trying fools believe what fools believe

May your heart never settle
May your feet never rest
Your days be full of everything you need
Don't look at the answers and then ask what's to come
For all your trying fools believe what fools believe
For all your trying fools believe what fools believe
