Give the world another fool [Verse 2] So if you’re gonna stay Don’t just say it Stay and really stay I don’t want any more goodbyes Any more disguise No more tossing coins Or him between your loins And if you’re gonna stay I’ll place you high upon a hill And with my hands I’ll build a tower in your name And you will do the same Won’t you my love? Won’t you my love? Won’t you my love? [Chorus] Or turn and walk away I’ve overspoken Said all that I can say I know that I can kneel and kiss your feet Walk ahead and clear the street So you don’t have to meet But what good would it do Give the world another fool [Chorus] So turn and walk away I’ve overspoken Now what more can I say? I know that I can kneel and I can cry Hell I know That I can show you how I died Now what good would it do Give the world another fool Just sitting on this stool N.C. I’m close to giving up on you [Outro] (this is long one then he starts playing faster) N.C. Just sitting on this stool I’m close I’ve said I’m close to giving up on you
