Fool for Love Lyrics by Lord Huron

Strange Trails

2015

[Verse 1]
I'm leavin' this place behind
And I'm headin' down on the road tonight
I'm off for the Hinterlands
Way up north to where the tall trees stand
Before I commence my ride
I'm askin' Lily to be my bride
I know there's another man
But he ain't gonna delay my plans

[Chorus]
I know she gonna be my wife
Gonna fall in love, I'm gonna live my life with her
You know, I bet he's not so tough
Ain't afraid of him 'cause I'm a fool for love

[Verse 2]
I come forward to find Big Jim
Well, here I am and I guess you're him
I see how you got your name
You're tall as hell and broad as a train
You say you're a hard-worn man
Oh, the baddest guy in the whole wide land
Well, I'm not afraid to fight
Let's step outside and I'll show you why

[Chorus]
I'm hummin' like a revved-up truck
Never mind the odds, I'm gonna try my luck with her
Just tell me when you've had enough
I'm dangerous 'cause I'm a fool for love

[Post-Chorus]
You know, you don't hit half-bad
Oh, but I'm gonna lay you to ground tonight, oh
Just wait until I catch my breath
Gonna send you off to an early death

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
I lie in the drifting snow
Bleeding out as it covers me over
If spring comes before I'm found
Just throw my bones in a hole in the ground
I lost friends along my way
I knew I'd need 'em eventually
No, I'm not afraid to die
Just mad I left Big Jim alive

[Chorus]
I know I should've never looked back
But you ain't gonna win a woman's heart like that, oh
I never should have called his bluff
I was born to lose 'cause I'm a fool for love

[Outro]
I stare into the endless sky
And the sorry tale of my life goes by, oh
I drift into the great unknown
No, I really don't know where I'm goin'
I stare into the endless sky
And the sorry tale of my life goes by, oh
I drift into the great unknown
No, I really don't know where I'm goin'
