Well it's sad, sad songs   That I have been holding on to   And it's one more day   That keeps me alive      Oh these blind, blind skies   Rollin' on over me   I just need something good   Or maybe just sympathy      'Cause it's only fool's gold   That I have been finding   And it's only fool's gold   That I have found      And these roads I've been traveling   Are takin' me home again   I'm looking 'round for something that's gone   Maybe I'm a fool, fool   Just singing my song      Just spending time, time, time   Running on empty   But I cannot stay   This way forever      Oh these dreams I've had   Can only be telling me   That I need something good   Or maybe just sympathy, yeah   Sympathy, yeah      And it's only fool's gold   That I have been finding   And it's only fool's gold   That I have found      Yeah       And these roads I've been traveling   Are takin' me home again   I'm looking 'round for something that's gone   Well maybe I'm a fool, fool   Singing my song      This time won't last forever   This time won't last for long   But I cannot stay this way, oh, forever   Baby I'm a fool, fool   Singing my song      Well it's sad, sad songs   That I have been holding on to   Well I need something good   Or maybe just sympathy      Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, oh   Yeah-yeah, yeah      Maybe I'm a fool, fool   Maybe I'm a fool, fool   Maybe I'm a fool, fool   Singing my songs   Only just a fool, fool   Maybe I'm a fool, fool   For singing my songs
