Caravan Of Fools Lyrics - John Prine

The dark and distant drumming 

The pounding of the hooves 

The silence of everything that moves 

Late at night you'll see them 

Decked out in shiny jewels 

The coming of the caravan of fools 

Like the wings of a dove 

The waiter's white glove 

Seems to shimmer by the light of the pool 

Some dull, blinding winner 

When you can't stand to lose 

You're running with the caravan of fools

The caravan of fools, caravan of fools 

You're running with the caravan of fools

Love and devotion 

Deep as any ocean 

Don't play by anybody's rules 

With your carousel of horses 

And your unforeseen forces 

You're running with the caravan of fools 

Caravan of fools, caravan of fools 

You're running with the caravan of fools
