yellow moon shining like fool's gold
slipping soflty into the sea
memories how they linger
guess we weren't strong enough, you and me

still i look to find a reason
search my mind for a vision
hide from the answers as the questions
burn in my head

shining like a fool's moon
shining like a fool's moon
burning out way too soon
shining like a fool's moon

i wish i'd known you as a child
i wish i'd known you when my heart ran wild
never knew how much i'd miss those dream-filled days

(chorus)

and when all is said and done
my loneliness has just begun
but you make it look so easy
never winning but never caring if you lose

(chorus)
