Lyrics

Come Back A Fool
(Lyrics & music by Eric Peters, Ben Shive)

Split right down the middle
Staring into the heart of it all
Like a bomb went off inside me
Pushed my back against the wall

I went to bed full of anger
And I dreamed of Paradise
I woke up early morning
With my chest cold, coiled and tight

But I remember all the words you said to me
And how you said them so gracefully

Come back a fool
Come back a fool to me
Come back a fool
Come back a fool to me

I was dry and spiteful
I had built an altar there
I took shade beneath the Lord’s leaf
Where I ate my fill of fear

I remember all the faith you had in me
And now you remind my poor slipshod memory

Come back a fool
Come back a fool to me
Come back a fool
Come back a fool to me

When all of everything turns to dust
And you’ve finally had enough
There is hope for all of men in the end

Come back a fool
Come back a fool to me
