(Claude S.)

Walking in the morning winds
I stare up at the clouds,
Slowly bring myself to rest

Near a peaceful plain.

Hoping and waiting for some sign
Anything will do...
I just wander in my soul,
In the search for you.

You would say,
"Please, please just go away,
And let your mind forget
about this dreary day."

Just one day in the life of a fool
Just one day in the life of a fool...

The afternoon will pass my by
As I reach the wall,
That stretches out across the land
That I knew so well.

And in a garden there
All the flowers bloom.
Reminders of a growing rose
Always full of thorns...

You would say,
"Please, please don't cry this way"
Slowly turn,
As the moon shows her face.

Just one day in the life of a fool
Just one day in the life of a fool
In the life of a fool
In the life of a fool...

Darkness drapes itself on me,
As I'm heading home.
Carrying roses in my hands,
I'm thinking of you.

How you smiled
And kissed my face.
Thought I heard you,
I thought I heard you say:

Just one day in the life of a fool
Just one day in the life of a fool
Just one day in the life of a fool
Just one day in the life of a fool

Just one day
Just one day in the life of a fool

Just one day
In the life of a fool

(Just one day)
