Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Day after day, alone on a hill
The man with the foolish grin is keeping perfectly still
But nobody wants to know him, they can see that he's just a fool
And he never gives an answer, but the fool on the hill
[Verse 2]
Sees the sun going down, and the eyes in his head
See the world spinning round
[Verse 3]
Well on his way, his head in a cloud
The man of a thousand voices talking perfectly loud
But nobody ever hears him or the sound he appears to make
And he never seems to notice but the fool on the hill
[Verse 4]
Sees the sun going down, and the eyes in his head
See the world
Spinning round
[Verse 5]
And nobody seems to like him, they can tell what he wants to do
And he never shows his feelings, but the fool on the hill
[Verse 6]
Sees the sun going down, and the eyes in his head
See the world
Spinning round
Written by: John Lennon, Paul McCartney
