Lyrics of River of Fools by Los Lobos
verse
Memories of a lonely past
A boat set into the wind
Drifting lost in waters of doubt
On a journey that has no end
chorus
Torn and faded photographs
A chestful of old goodbyes
Tear streaked faces by the light of the moon
Here on a river of fools
Here on a river of fools
verse
A trio of angels holding candles of light
Guide the ship to an unknown shore
Sad soul riders with arms drawn tight
As they stopped for just one more
chorus
Fingers pointed to a star in the sky
A message from someone they can't see
Tear streaked faces by the light of the moon
Here on a river of fools
Here on a river of fools
verse
Traveling along a cloudy path
With a wing, a heart, and a prayer
Pieces fall from the heavens above
To a place they know not where
chorus
A string of beads in trembling hands
Heading close to the judgement day
Tear streaked faces by the light of the moon
Here on a river of fools
Here on a river of fools
Writer(s): David Kent Hidalgo, Louis Frausto Perez
