A day in the life of a foolA sad and a long lonely dayI walk the avenue and hope I’ll run intoThe welcome sight of you coming my way
I stop just across from your doorBut you’re never home any moreSo back to my room and there in the gloomI cry tears of goodbye(That’s the way it will be every day in the life of fool)
