Statue of a Fool by Brian Collins Lyrics
[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
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
