Lyrics

Fools Goldâ?¨

(C)  Williams and Williams '08
��I gave my heart once- I lost my heart twice�
it was always thrown back at too dear a price
â?¨I think all fools - grow
oldâ?¨forever mining fool's gold
��One said he loved me - then he walked away
â?¨one said he liked me but love wasn't his way
â?¨another wanted more things than I could ever giveâ?¨
I guess love is fool's gold
and I'm too tired to dig.

��There is a dark side - to us all
â?¨a lonesome well in which we fallâ?¨
there 's a boneyard with our names -â?¨
with dark shadows playing gamesâ?¨
and I'm so lost that I can't seeâ?¨
someone look inside me��

CHORUS��

a heart grows old - a heart grows cold when only finding fool's gold
�A heart grows old  a heart grows cold�when only mining fool's gold
