Jack Savoretti Lovely Fool song lyrics

In the silence of your mind

You should ask yourself

What it is that makes you who you are

In the valley of your soul

You should take a walk

But you never go that far

It's strange, that i should know you better than you do

You lovely fool

So strange, everybody sees your light shine through

Except for you

In the window of your past

There's a broken pane, reflecting all the things that make you sad

In the shadow of your fear,

There's no hiding place

So why do you to you run there?

It's strange, that i should know you better than you do

You lovely fool

So strange, that you should want to live your whole life through

Broken and blue

You're a martyr for the cause,

But what that cause is i'm not sure

I'm sure it ends with no applause

Except for yours

In the church along my dreams

I'll say a prayer, that one day you'll believe

It's strange, that i should know you better than you do

You lovely fool

So strange, everybody sees your light shine through

Except for you

You lovely fool
