Fool's Lullabye

from Hippocampus by Beth Patterson

/

lyrics

Tell me a story
And I’ll sing you a lullabye
And we’ll get through this madness, you and I

When life is epic trial
Dreams are a quest for paradise
For if it didn’t hurt, then none of us would try

Drink of the dew
Dreams will ensue
Nightmares in shining armor can’t touch you

Bring me some willow
For the fire in my head
For the cards still mock the solace that I crave

But even still I play with fire
For the only truth I know
Are the shadow pictures dancing in this cave

This world of thieves
As each believes
Fealty, thy name is fool; none deceives

Bridge:
Give me that old-time indecision
With a bright and shining scheme
And you’ve got a basic outline of my plight

Oh, sweet soul who makes the myth
Makes the legend, makes the dream
Please draw the beast within me out tonight

The divine pursuit of bliss
In the company of fools
Would be nothing less than some idyllic scene

Where youth is wasted on the young
And wisdom wasted on the old
And you and I are nestled somewhere in between

Harp strikes a chord
Fool is adored
Still mighty is the pen that draws the sword
