FOOL (IF YOU THINK IT'S OVER)
(Chris Rea)


Chris Rea - 1978

Nemesis Rising - 2008







As recorded by CHRIS REA:


A dying flame, you're free again
Who could love, do that to you
All dressed in black, he won't be coming back
Save your tears, you've got years and years
The pains of seventeen's
Unreal they're only dreams
Save your crying for the day

Fool if you think it's over 'cause you said goodbye
Fool if you think it's over, tell you why
New born eyes always cry with pain
At the first look at the morning sun
You're a fool if you think it's over
It's just begun

Miss teenage dream, such a tragic scene
He knocked your crown and ran away
First wound of pride and how you cried and cried
But save your tears, you've got years and years

Fool if you think it's over ,cause you said goodbye
Fool if you think it's over, tell you why

Fool if you think it's over
(Instrumental Break)
Fool if you think it's over

I'll buy your first good wine
We'll have a real good time
Save your crying for the day
New born eyes always cry with pain
First look at the morning sun
Fool if you think it's over
Just begun

(Fool if you think it's over)

I'll buy your first good wine
We'll have a real good time
Save your crying for the day
That may not come, but anyone
Who had to pay will laugh at you and say

Fool if you think it's over
'Cause you said goodbye
Fool if you think it's over
Tell you why

I'll buy your first good wine
We'll have a real good time
(Fool if you think it's over)
I'll tell you why

New born eyes always cry with pain
At the first look at the morning sun
Fool if you think it's over
It's just begun

(Fool if you think it's over)
