Robin Pecknold
Fool’s Errand
[Verse 1]
I knew you fine, sight dream of mine
But I know my eyes, they've often lied
And I move like blood, like fire and flood
Despite you

[Verse 2]
Blind love couldn't win
As the facts all came in
But I know I'll again chase after wind
What have I got if not a thought?

[Pre-Chorus]
I knew, oh I knew
I knew

[Chorus]
It was a fool's errand
Waiting for a sign
But I can't leave until the sight comes to mind
A fool's errand

[Verse 3]
Life will repeat, vision I see
The mouth and the teeth
And that's fine with me
What have I got if not a thought?
[Pre-Chorus]
I knew, oh I knew
I knew

[Chorus]
It was a fool's errand
Waiting for a sign
But I can't leave until the sign comes to mind
A fool's errand

[Post-Chorus]
But I can make it through
I was thin and I saw all life in you
Fool's errand
