Lyrics to A Fool For Love (Piano Version)

Lyrics to the song A Fool For Love as recorded by Bryan Ferry.

A Fool For Love

Written By Bryan Ferry & Dave Stewart

In days gone by
There was a king
A fool for love
And all it brings

So high and wise
Could read your mind
A fool for love
And love is blind

A crowded street
An empty train
A fool for love
You cry in vain

A fool for love
A fool for love
A fool for love

In days gone by
There was a queen
A fool for love
And all it means

Red ruby lips
Don't touch me eyes
A fool for love
And love is blind

A fool for love
A fool for love
A fool for love

like flowers in the rain
I'm twisted up inside
I'll never be the same

I hear the same old lines
you played me for a fool
you really hurt my pride

A fool for love
A fool for love
A fool for love

In days gone by
There was a king
A fool for love
And all it brings

So high and wise
Could read your mind
A fool for love
And love is blind
