Be Watchful of Fools

Suzanne Mondoux · 20 October 2020

And never would I have known this to be true To know that I could be a fool Be watchful of fools You never know when they will show up I have to answer to this day and night For ever in the simple state of my existence I watch for the white dove to fly above To free me from the love that never will be

I know it’s so silly to be in the glory of another I watch this fool smile back at me And I say be watchful of fools they are too near Never can you turn away and be too far It’s messing me up beyond recognition I’m out of my neighbourhood when I try to kill this fool Be watchful of fools they are wedged in where you least expect

Escaping love is impossible and yet I keep fleeing at every opportunity Be watchful of fools in love with you, they never see what’s true Oh what is love to a fool in love Keep on loving is all the fool knows to do In times of revelation the ego never knows the time of day Going far from home and never says goodbye

Be watchful of fools who want to change They guide you to where you want to go They love you as you are And in their heart you will always remain as they want you to be Never denying love no matter the events of the day Be watchful of fools who love for love Who live to fly away in bliss with the doves above
