Foolish or Foolhearted

from Rembrandt Afternoons by Tret Fure

/

lyrics

He made a figure eight knit scarf
To keep me warm in winter
Gray as the color in my hair
I wore it on those icy days
Those cold December nights
Now I can’t find it anywhere

It was made with so much love
The finest woolen yarn
With tender, articulated care
I was delighted to be given
A gift from his crafting hands
Now I can’t find it anywhere

Doesn’t mean it didn’t mean that much to me
Doesn’t mean I’m foolish or foolhearted
I was sitting in Atlanta waiting for my plane
I dashed away and I guess i forgot it

She found the perfect heart shaped stone
A promise of our love
Gray as the color in my hair
I kept it in my pocket
To remind me of her trust
Now I can’t find it anywhere

Doesn’t mean it didn’t mean that much to me
Doesn’t mean I’m foolish or foolhearted
I was leaving New York City, checking out of my hotel
I dashed away and I guess i forgot it

Still I know that it’s unsettling
To lose an object of affection
But it’s not a loss of loving or of care
What matters most of all
Is the thought and all the feeling
And that’s something that I always find here

It was a queen of hearts star cup
To keep my coffee warm
Gray as the color in my hair
Something I could travel with
To remind me to come home
Now I can’t find it anywhere

Doesn’t mean it didn’t mean that much to me
Doesn’t mean I’m foolish or foolhearted
It was sitting on the roof as I was packing up the car
And I drove away and I guess i forgot it

At least I didn’t lose my heart, it’s with you here
