In the words of James Taylor, It's me and my guitar. Always in the same mood! Then again, maybe my guitar is just humoring me - sigh -
Just me, I'm an old Folksinger that still plays out once in a blue moon. Thank you for listening to my primitive acoustic songs. I am a retired Army Bandsman, a certified Wall Wacker, and am currently a teacher. Next time I retire I am going back into Folksinging. It's the perfect occupation really, no hope of fame and fortune and definately keeps me humble. Folksinging just naturally makes me a better person I s'pose.

Story behind the song
This is one of the three songs I wrote while I was at a western Dance bar with my wife and mother - in - law.
Lyrics
Can I Be Your Fool Tonight Charles W - T Consaul 1. I've seen you try men on for size I've seen you leave them flat And men have told me nobody Should have to go through that But I haven't been through nothing And I'd rather have one night Than a cold lifetime of wondering If what I did was right C: Can I be your fool tonight Will you fly away with me Take me to that secret place Where wiser men don't want to be Just tell me the same old lies I won't ask for any more I want to be your fool tonight 'Cause I've never heard those lies before 2. When the sun breaks on the window I know you'll be gone The promises you make need only Last until the dawn But at least I'll have one night Of being blinded by your eyes And I'll learn from love just how to be A sadder man and wise Chorus < Short instrumental interlude > 3. You've had the curse of knowing Oh, so many fools They pass by you like paper dolls And dangle just like jewels You drink and sup and use them up Discarding what you waste And what you leave is infinately More precious in it's place C2: Can I be your fool tonight Will you come away with me Tear out all that innocence And pride with my insanity Just tell me the same old lies I won't notice when you do Babe, I'd be your fool forever If you'd only want me to Can I be your fool tonight? Can I be your fool tonight? I want to be your fool tonight If you say it will, it'll be alright I want to jump for you and be your fool tonight Do you need a clown Do you need a fool tonight (Sweep up the spotlight) (Tip your hat) (Exit, Stage West)
