Fool on the Hill / Nature Boy

Fool on the hill/Nature boy - Inger Marie Gundersen

Day after day

Alone on the hill

The man with the foolish grin

Is keeping perfectly still

But nobody wants to know him

They can see that he's just a fool

And he never gives an answer

But the fool on the hill

Sees the sun going down

And the eyes in his head

See the world

Spinning round

There was a boy

A very strange enchanted boy

They say he wandered very far

Very far

Over land and sea

A little shy

And sad

Of eye

But very wise

Was he

And then one day

One magic day he came my way

And as we spoke of many things

Fools

And kings

This he said to me

The greatest thing

You'll ever learn

Is just to love

And be loved

In return

Sees the sun

Going down

And the eyes in his head

See the world

Spinning round
