River Of Fools Tab

by Los Lobos


						 
Memories of a lonely past on a boat set into the wind
	     			        		   	
 Drifting lost in waters of doubt on a journey that has no end
	    	 					
 Torn and faded photographs, a chestful of old goodbyes
			     	
Tearstreaked faces by the light of the moon
	     	     	
Here on a river of fools
	      	     
Here on a river of fools
								        
A trio of angels holding candles of light guide a ship to an unknown shore
		          			               		
 Sad soul riders with arms drawn tight as they stop for just one more
		        
Fingers pointed to a star in the sky
    				           
A message from some one they can’t see
			     
Tearstreaked faces by the light of the moon
	     	     		
Here on a river of fools 
	                 
Here on a river of fools
		   		                    	    	
Traveling along a cloudy path with a wing a heart and prayer
                                                           
Pieces fall from the heavens above to a place they know not where
		        	
A string of beads in trembling hands
	   			  
Heading close to the judgement day
			     
Tearstreaked faces by the light of the moon
	     	     	
Here on a river of fools
 	     	    	
Here on a river of fools

			    
Tearsteaked faces by the light of the moon
	     	      	
Here on a river of fools
	     	     
Here on a river of fools
