Fool for Waiting - Dan Mangan

I can’t tell you what it means

When you are here, I am at ease

I don’t blame you when you’re gone

For the sadness in my song

That weight is mine alone, that shadow is my own

The coast is never clear

I’ll wait for morning though, you will arrive

So we can watch that shadow disappear

If you try to be with me, I will try to get by

Some say I’m a fool for waiting

They don’t know, this fool doesn’t mind

They tell me «Give it up»

But I won’t ever give it up

Because when the night does fade

I’m alive in the strangest way

Those first few cracks of dawn

Are a taste of what’s to come

And yes I hum and haw about nothing at all

I get lost in fear

But no thief or act of god could take this grin I’ve got

I know you will be here

And if you try to be with me, I will try to get by

Some say I’m a fool for waiting

They don’t know, this fool doesn’t mind

They tell me «Give it up»

But I won’t ever give it up

Ah, they tell me

«So what she’s in your head?

She’s gonna leave again?

What’s gonna happen then?

She’s just enabling»

And there is truth to that

But I ain’t holding back

If you try, try, try

Try to be with me, I will try to get by

Some say I’m a fool for waiting

They don’t know, this fool doesn’t mind

If you try to be with me, I will try to get by

Some say I’m a fool for waiting

They don’t know, this fool doesn’t mind

They tell me «Give it up»

But I won’t ever give it up

Oh, and they tell me «Give it up»

But I won’t ever give it up
