Larry Warner For Talia
The lady that I cherish is enamored of a fool
A fool who lacks the wish, to speak his mind
A fool who often wears a mask, indifferent and cool
A fool who’s often selfish, dense and blind
The lady that I cherish is enamored of a fool
A fool too often wrapped in others cares
Forgetting that his single mindedness is wrong and cruel
To lock her out her gladly troubled shares
The lady that I cherish is enamored of a fool
Who sometimes does not value what he holds
Until his loneliness confirms for time his heart should
rule
And the comfort of her love around him folds
But though he must have hurt her, without ever meaning to
Her temper never breaks and never frays
And she forgives whatever careless thing that he may do
And loves him still despite his thoughtless ways
She only smiles and says that there is nothing to forgive
And I thank God that she does so for you see
I fear without her love and care this poor fool could not
live
The fool she loves and cherishes is me
The fool she loves and cherishes is me
