It's been a long time
Since that walk in the rain
It's been a long time
Since I felt this way
It took a long time to get here
And a long way around
I still can't give the reasons though
They won't be found
I was a fool
Didn't know what I had
I was a fool
To turn my back
I was a fool
Let it rest with that
That's my defence
I was a fool
There isn't a cause in explainin' why
There isn't a word
That can make it right
If trouble is sleepin'
You just let it lie
You can't find it in you
To take my reply
I was a fool
Didn't know what I had
I was a fool
To turn my back
I was a fool
Let it rest with that
That's my defence
I was a fool
It doesn't make sense
To recall the pain
Livin' with memories
Can get in the way
There's a lot that have passed
And some that remain
Countin' the strokes
It's easily maintained
I was a fool
Didn't know what I had
I was a fool
To turn my back
I was a fool
Let it rest with that
That's my defence
I was a fool
A fool
Didn't know what I had
I was a fool
To turn my back
I was a fool
Let it rest with that
