Ship of fools
climbing up the river
bounded to progress
blinded to beauty


ship of fools
don't know where they're going
but they always think so
do you really think so?

the water is not as
cold as you had thought so
last year I watched the leaves fall
now I fall with them

I,
watch the ship burn down
every night
I lay my head
I see the blazing story
in my bed

ohh

I,
watch the ship burn down
every night
I lay my head
I see the blazing story
in my bed


and what happens next
isn’t ours to choose
what happens next
really is just ours to lose


The Ship of fools

Look one way and know
where to go
Die one day
through the open door you go
an open door
I know
An open door..

Looked at me as I
looked at you
and thought about me
through and through
and I knew
I could feel your blue
what a wonder that can do

Still you look one way and know where to go
Die on day
through the open door you go
an open door
I know
An open door...

Looked at me as I looked at you

and felt the pulse as you
Pushed on through
and you knew

You saw my dripping face
Oh the grace of this new place
