April Fool

I'm just a fool for april

There's nothing more to say

Long as i can remember

She's led my heart astray

When i was green as willow

She had me ditchin' school

And even then she tricked me

I'm just an april fool



She tangles dogwood blossoms

Into her yellow hair

She uses the same perfume

The smoky mountains wear

She keeps the flame of summer

'round her neck like a jewel

She breezes in to see me

And i'm an april fool



She entrances me and she dances me

And she flies me like a kite

And i soon forget she's only come to play

Then there comes a day when she will not stay

And i lie awake all night

Hoping next time april may



When i walked out this morning

April had up and gone

And it clear as water

She'd only led me on

And it will be next winter

Before my heels will cool

And then i will forgive her

I'm just an april fool

She knows i will forgive her

I'm just an april fool
