lyrics

Spending your days
You’re wasting away
You’ve been looking for fools gold
Chasing the line
And all of this time
You’ve been looking for fools gold

Up at the top of the hill
You look around for the life you sold
Down with your head in the well
You’re getting tired and growing old

You left yourself blind
With nothing to find
You’ve been looking for fools gold
Deeper you fall
Believe in it all
You’ve been looking for fools gold



All of your love it has gone
You look around for the life you sold
Run from the glare of the sun
You’re getting tired and growing old

Trap and ensnare
Pretending to care
You’ve been looking for Fools Gold
Keep them in line
You never were kind
When you were looking for fools gold

Up at the top of the hill
You look around for the life you sold
Down with your head in the well
You’re getting tired and growing old

Henry Parker Leeds, UK

Henry Parker's contemporary take on folk, which he explores via thoughtful yet deeply accomplished guitar playing, unfurls and moves much like the landscape itself - mirroring the unpredictable, yet beautifully flowing, rolling hills and valleys of his hometown, the Aire Valley in West Yorkshire.
