Michael Stanley Fool's Parade Lyrics

I can't believe that it's time to leave With so much left unsaid At best the situation's very strange And here am I just coming on Girl, like some bad book you read And who am I to put you through this change...

And I'm wondering what was lost and what was made (So in love) Why I'm so in love yet so afraid Baby I've been betting on Cards that ain't been played (Here I am) Here I am again, leading the fool's parade

Romantics die untimely deaths And never know who won But even knowing that I'd like the chance I just need to hold your body next to mine Woman warm you like the sun I'm like some schoolboy that you promised The last dance...

And I'm wondering what was lost and what was made (So in love) Why I'm so in love yet so afraid Baby I've been betting on Cards that ain't been played (Here I am) Here I am again, leading the fool's parade
The visions sometimes frighten me Unless they're cut with wine Kind words are unusual Better just give me some time And if you're gonna bring me down Just do the best you can What's the use of doing things half-way...

And I'm wondering what was lost and what was made (So in love) Why I'm so in love yet so afraid Baby I've been betting on Cards that ain't been played (Here I am) Here I am again, leading the fool's parade (leading the fool's parade) (Here I am) Here I am again leading the fool's parade (leading the fool's parade) Here I am again leading the fool's parade (leading the fool's parade) (Here I am) Second time leading the fool's parade (leading the fool's parade) (Here I am) One more time leading the fool's parade
