He whispered in his ear
He told him what he wants to hear
But this poor boy, he may stay strong
He had his own concerns
But he fell apart from words
Yeah, God, those words
All those reckless words

Here in the crops of the garden of Eden
You're the fool, you're the fool
Here in the crops of the garden of Eden
You're the fool, you're the fool
You're the fool, you're the fool
You're the fool, you're the fool

I've been looking for you, but you've gone far away
Now the light in my eyes starts to dissipate
When I knock on your gates, will you let me in?
I just want to stay, stay just for a bit

And bless your silly son for all his wicked ways
He's got the world on a string
But his heart is out of place
I have watched men go back to their old ways, their old ways

Here in the crops of the garden of Eden
You're the fool, you're the fool
Here in the crops of the garden of Eden
You're the fool, you're the fool
You're the fool, you're the fool

I've been looking for you, but you've gone far away
Now the light in my eyes start to dissipate
When I knock on your gates, will you let me in?
I just want to stay, stay just for
I should've asked someone
I should've asked someone
But I blamed God
But I blame you

Fool, you're the fool
You're the fool, you're the fool
You're the fool

He whispered in his ear
He told him what he wants to hear
But this poor boy, he may stay strong
He had his own concerns
But he fell apart from words

Yeah, God, those words
Those reckless words
And bless your silly son for all his wicked ways
He's got the world on a string
But his heart is out of place
I have watched men go back to their old ways, their old ways

Here in the crops of the garden of Eden
You're the fool, you're the fool
Here in the crops of the garden of Eden
You're the fool, you're the fool
