Blue Fools

Matthew Sweet

I met her down by the water

She took me into her full like a mother

I sent her some flowers for the weekend

And she sent me away on a mission

I went into another land



Starin' into one another's *green pools

We're a couple o' blue fools

Starin' into one another's green pools

We're a couple o' blue fools

Thank God that they don't ask us why

We can't get high

Blue fools



Never had any sisters or brothers

Spent all my time lookin' for another

Keeping all of my thoughts in a locket

Before I knew it she picked my pocket

I turned into another man



Starin' into one another's green pools

We're a couple o' blue fools

Starin' into one another's green pools

We're a couple o' blue fools

Thank God that they don't ask us why

We can't get high

Blue fools



Starin' into one another's green pools

We're a couple o' blue fools

Starin' into one another's green pools

We're a couple o' blue fools

Thank God that they don't ask us why

We can't get high

Blue fools...
