The Shadow of a Fool - Chris Rea

I hear the angels scream

they know the devil's out.

I sure don't know at all

what this is all about.

I need my true loves arm

I need my true loves kiss.

No matter whose side you're on

nobody needs all this.

And if there is a God

well, they've broken all his rules

and left us here fighting

for the shadow of a fool.

Now I'm trained to go

into the darkest night.

And in the name of the angels

stand for what is right.

But so much is wrong

in this hell of blood and fear

nobody knows no more

the reason we are here.

And if there is a God

well, they've broken all his rules

and left us here fighting

for the shadow of a fool.
