Ooh child things are gonna get easier

There was a boy a very strange enchanted boy

They say he wandered very far very far over land and sea

A little shy and sad of eye but very wise was he

And then one day a magic day he passed my way

And as we spoke of many things fools and kings

This he said to me

The greatest thing you'll ever learn

Is just to love and be loved in return

Is just to love and be loved back in return

There was a boy…

Day after day alone on a hill
The man with the foolish grin is keepin’ perfectly still
Nobody wants to know him
They can see that he's just a fool
He never gives an answer but the

Foo-ool on the hill
Sees the sun going down
And the eyes in his head
See the world spinning round yeah

Well on his way his head in a cloud
The man of a thousand voices talking perfectly loud
Nobody ever hears him
Or the sound he appears to make
He never seems to notice but the

Foo-ool on the hill
Sees the sun going down
And the eyes in his head
See the world spinning round yeah

Day after day alone on a hill
The man with the foolish grin is keepin’ perfectly still
Nobody wants to know him
They can see that he's just a fool
He never gives an answer but the

Foo-ool on the hill
Sees the sun going down
And the eyes in his head
See the world spinning round yeah

Spinning round, spinning round, spinning round

etc…

Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup

They slither while they pass they slip away across the universe

Pools of sorrow waves of joy are drifting through my opened mind

Possessing and caressing me…

Aah a a a a e e eh o o oh…
