Fool's Gold

“She told him that she loved him,
But he don’t know he’s not the only one”


-A.M. Huffman ~ Slut Shoes-

Let me start by saying yes, I did just quote myself. It’s appropriate, and you should too.
This song was written several years ago, and I believe that the topic is familiar to most men, and probably most women, and needs no explanation. I miss writing songs frequently; this is my push back into it.


I took a train back to your state
Snow was melting I felt far away
I told myself I wouldn’t fall for you again
But your ways always pull me in
Sometimes you shine a little like gold
But I know I’ve been fooled before
Some shine like diamonds in the day
But when darkness comes they just fade away

I know I fall, for fool’s gold
I said I know I fall for fool’s gold

The sun can blind when it shines right back at me
It bounces off you so perfectly
The shine and glare paint you like a sunset
And every star in the sky is a sunset to someone

I know I fall, for fool’s gold
I said I know I fall for fool’s gold

But I’m gonna take my time with you
I’m gonna take my time and do this right
I’ll fight all my greedy urges
And do my best to see your light

The sun can blind when it shines right back at me
It bounces off you so perfectly
The shine and glare paint you like a sunset
And every star in the sky is a sunset to someone
(somewhere someone sees a similar sunset)
