Statue of a Fool by Brian Collins Lyrics

Genre: country | Year: 1973

[Verse 1]
Somewhere there should be
For all the world to see
A statue of a fool made of stone
An image of a man
Who let love slip through his hands
And then just let him stand there all alone

[Verse 2]
And there on his face
A gold tear should be placed
To honor the million tears he’s cried
And the hurt in his eyes would show
So that everyone would know
Concealed is a broken heart inside

[Chorus]
So, build a statue
Oh, and build it high
So that all can see
Then inscribe
The world’s greatest fool
And name it after me
After me
