Yellow moon shining like fool's gold Slipping softly 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 Shining like a fool's moon You're shining like a fool's moon And burning out way too soon, yeah hey You're shining like a fool's moon 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 Shining like a fool's moon Shining like a fool's moon Burning out way too soon Shining like a fool's moon
