Somewhere in a market square The cobblestone still shine
Glassy eyes behold the sight Through another cup of wine
The one eyed jester skips and turns As he makes his way through the crowd
While the tavern's royalty try not to laugh aloud
The jester does another spin And then falls to the floor
A show of hands, a short "Hurrah!" A plea for him to do more
The ease of laughter comes so fast when you're not in A jester's shoes
Cause when you've only Fools Gold, you've got nothing more to lose
Who holds the riches The jester or the king?
A fortress made from Fools Gold Or the tears that treasure can bring?
Who holds the riches The jester or the king?
A fortress made from Fools Gold Or the tears that treasure can bring?
The king he sits upon his throne The worlds weight on his chest
When your mind begins to race you've got no time to rest
"Where is my clown? I need him now, to take my troubles away "
The harlequin rushes in as his work begins for the day
The harlequin rushes in as his work begins for the day
While somewhere in a market square The cobblestones still shine
