Batstone Been a long time since that walk in the rain It's been a long time since I felt this way It took a long time to get here and a long way around I still can't give the reasons though they won't be found. I was a fool, I didn't know what I had I was a fool to turn my back I was a fool, let it rest with that That's my defense, I was a fool. There isn't a cause in explainin' why There isn't a word that can make it right If trouble is sleepin', you just let it lie You can't find it in you to take my reply. I was a fool, I didn't know what I had I was a fool to turn my back I was a fool, let it rest with that That's my defense, I was a fool. It doesn't make sense to recall the pain Livin' with memories can get in the way There's a lot that have pa**ed and some that remain Countin' the strokes, it's easily maintained. I was a fool, I didn't know what I had I was a fool to turn my back I was a fool, let it rest with that That's my defense, I was a fool. A fool, I didn't know what I had I was a fool to turn my back I was a fool, let it rest with that.
