Jack of Fools (capo 2)
questions childlike in their tone
are forming on my tongue
I stand with you beside the road
the restless and the young
coyote phrases sliding from
the corners of your mouth
I blow around from north to east
but you're always in the south
jack of fools, poet's muse
you speak to me in >riddles
you wrap me up in highs and lows
you're never in the middle
I stretch my arms to touch you and
you move like water flowing
and underneath your overalls
crow feathers are showing
living with a sacred clown
I guess you take your chances
I hope that I can learn the steps
to all your crazy dances
CHORUS
(flute and pickin')
your laugh is wild and merry and
your song brings day to night
enchantment rains around you in
a coat of fairy light
you lead me out onto a limb
I follow without thinkin
you tease me for you know you hold
the cup from which I'm drinkin
Chorus
just when I think I'm safe you pull
the rug from where I'm standing
the only thing I'm sure of is
a less-than-graceful landing
but then I find you'renot unkind
it's just that you are showing
sometimes I just need to go
where I'm afraid of going
Chorus
