Theo Bard - The Springtime Fool lyrics

WHEN COURAGE COMES AND WHATS SAID IS DONE, AND WORDS RETURN TO ME WHEN FEAR HAS FLED AND PAIN IS DEAD, AND THE MIRROR SHOWS NOT WHAT I WANT TO SEE WHEN HONESTY HOLDS AND THE LIES WILL UNFOLD, KNOWLEDGE BELONGS TO THE BRIGHT AND THE BOLD, WHISPERING INNOCENT WORDS INTO CYNICAL EARS... THEN PERHAPS I'LL BE READY TO LOVE, THEN PERHAPS I'LL BE READY TO LOVE AGAIN WHEN MARRIED COUPLES COME TO ME DENYING ALL COMPROMISE WHEN NEW-FOUND LOVERS IN ECSTACY EXTINGUISH THE JEALOUSY IN THEIR EYES WHEN THOSE WHO ADMIRE CAN ADMIRE WITH NO SHAME AND EVEN THE SPURNED BARE THEIR SOULS ALL THE SAME SPEAKING IN LANGUAGES THEY NEVER REALISED THEY KNEW... THEN PERHAPS... WHEN EVERY MAN ALONE CAN STAND, YET KNOW THEY MUST NOT DO WHEN WOMEN FLEE AND SING SO FREE, THEY'RE SPINNING IN CIRCLES THEIR WHOLE LIVES THROUGH WHEN CHILDREN PLAY IN THE STREETS WHERE THEY MAY CARELESS OF TIME, DIRECTION OR DAY LOST IN A MOMENT, ENGROSSED IN DISCOVERIES NEW THEN PERHAPS... WHEN OLD COMPANIONS LEAVE MY SIDE IN SEARCH OF WORLDS ANEW WHEN OLD COMPANIONS JOIN MY SIDE AND TELL ME OF BEAUTEOUS PEOPLE THEY KNEW WHEN NO COMPANION'S COMPANION ENOUGH AND STRANGERS AROUND ME ASTOUND ME WITH LOVE WHEN PEOPLE WITHIN ME ARE WITH ME WITHOUT BEING THERE... THEN PERHAPS... WHEN TIME HAS COME AND TOLD TO ME ITS RAMBLING VERSE IN TWOS AND SEASONS TURNED AND TAUGHT TO ME THE FOLLIES OF FORTUNES I WIN OR I LOSE THE FOOL WILL FIND ME IN SUNLIGHT OF SPRING WITH MISCHIEVOUS RHYMES IN THE LINES THAT HE'LL SING ASKING ME QUESTIONS FORGETTING TO MENTION HIS NAME... AND PERHAPS I'LL BE READY TO LOVE, AND PERHAPS I'LL BE READY TO LOVE AGAIN.
