Lyrics
FOOL?S PARADISE
I don?t know if I?m strong enough
To love you like I should
To many people they just run for cover
When love?s in the neighbourhood
Open doors can show you many things
And its a strong heart that needs no key
But in this world where rivers run to nowhere
Its easier to stay by the sea
Chorus:
I don?t want no fool?s paradise
I don?t want the mountains where the air is nice
I don?t want it all and not have to pay the price.
Why do people have to doubt one another
Why do they put up screens to hide their heart?
Why do I fumble for the right words to say
Why do I stop myself before I start?
I?m gonna build a castle underground
With four strong walls stopping every sound,
I?m gonna close my eyes to the light up above
And I?m gonna stay there ?till I learn how to love.
Chorus
So I don?t know if I?m strong enough
To love you like I should
To many people they just run for cover
When love?s in the neighbourhood
It seemed so easy when I was a kid
But there?s a lesson that I?ve lost somehow,
I have no children of my own that?s true
But you?d think I?d have learned by now.
Chorus
