Dreamer

I am the Dreamer. He is the Fool.

He blunders around; I am cool.

I look for places in the sun.

He lives today, ... and just for fun.

The Dreamer dreams of love so fine.

The Fool believes a woman's line.

The Dreamer seeks unknown treasure.

Fools succumb to carnal pleasure.

Whether a dreamer or a fool,

We try to live the Golden Rule.

Live for tomorrow; live today.

Uphold your honor, either way.

If we compete to have some fun

No one could win, ... for we are one.

Yes, I'm the Dreamer, don't you see,

And love has made a Fool of me.

I work for what I cannot see,

And hope for what may never be.

I work, and churn, and spin my wheel,

Not knowing if our love is real.

How can I know that love is true,

When lovers lie the way they do?

I've seen hot "love" turn cold as snow.

I've seen it come, ... and seen it go.

The Dreamer says, "Let's try again."

Then comes the Fool, who cannot win.

We believe, and we trust in vain,

As if we loved to feel the pain.

Dreamers and Fools always abound

For those who kick our hearts around.

As the Dreamer, I failed to see.

The biggest Fool of all, ... is me.
