John Prine - Caravan Of Fools Lyrics






The dark and distant drumming
The pounding of the hoops
The silence of everything that moves
Late in night you 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
Seem to shimmer by the light of the pool
Some dog-blinding winner
When you can't help but lose
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 own foreseen forces
You're running with the caravan of fools

Caravan of fools
Caravan of fools
You're running with the caravan of fools

    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

    Why did you post this? Someone had already posted the lyrics several months before you.

    Definitely describes Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, Cory Booker, Maxine Waters, Hillary Clinton, and Bernie Sanders.

    DUDE...Step your comments on over to Fox News..where you belong. Just enjoy Prine's genius as a songwriter

    I've known about Prine since I was 19. That was a long time ago. He's probably a Democrat. I was too till they ok'd killing babies after birth, open borders, disobeying the constitution, and trying to block MS-13 gang members from leaving America. I got smart. Hopefully some day when John and I can sit and have a conversation, compare songs, I'll straighten him out too. I think he has mellowed a great deal due to his near fatal cancer. I go back with Prine to the Earl of Old Town in Chicago.

    @Ron Wright Republicans are so desperate to appear humane after kidnapping migrant children, creating baby prisons, and selling these kids to for profit adoption agencies they came up with the strategy of banging the drum on late term abortions knowing their voters are too lazy to understand it. When a fetus dies, it starts to decompose, putting the women's health in peril from septic shock. Sometimes a baby can be terminal and in death throes before being born. While being unable to provide any life saving intervention for the unborn baby, it is poisoning the Mother. Removing these already dead or dying babies is called abortion. States have to pass laws to protect Drs. saving women's lives because idiots think they have a right to force women to die as punishment for not delivering a live baby. Since you get your information from propaganda sites, you probably haven't heard that Trump had undocumented immigrants build then work at all 12 of his American golf resorts. He only fired them a month ago when reporters were about to break the story. The guy telling you how immigrants were taking American jobs paid them $8 per hour for heavy equipment operator when scale $22 per hour. Until he wanted to bullshit you into voting for him, he was comfortable with them working around his daughter, wife, and grandkids.

    Man it's a shame you like the tunes but don't comprehend a single lyric. You sir are the fool and continue to fund the caravan

  4. J.... B....

    I've been listening to John Prine since the mid-70's. He's definitely a one-of-a-kind talent. We've grown old together. Love his voice, his guitar playing, his talent.

  5. H.... C....

    Exemplary.

    Love John Prine. 💖

    "Caravan Of Fools"

    The dark and distant drumming
    The pounding of the hoops
    The silence of everything that moves
    Late in night you 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
    Seem to shimmer by the light of the pool
    Some dog-blinding winner
    When you can't help but lose
    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 own foreseen forces
    You're running with the caravan of fools

    Caravan of fools
    Caravan of fools
    You're running with the caravan of fools

    Une mélodie, une voix, une ambiance, c'est John Prine: place au Voyage et au Rêve.

  9. Z.... D....

    "I'd like to put a disclamer on that song: any likeness to the current administration is purely accidental." hahaha love this man

    Z.... D....

    @sammy scotch Yeah, not one word of that came from fox, I hate fox and all other forms of mainstream media.
    What it is though is historical fact, and seeing as you seem to have a problem with facts, I'm gonna guess you're a liberal who cant take the truth.
    Sounds like you all are just parroting whatever cnn says.

    Z.... D....

    @Max Powers I listen to npr mostly. Our country is in alot of trouble. I wouldnt have tought about politics w the john prine song but read your comment. Ive heard prine speak out against trump. We are all entitled to our opinions. We disagree but Im not inclined to call names as you have me. I know u thought calling me a liberal, a democrat would be insulting. Im not at all ashamed to be a progressive socialist and have been most all of my life. Being called a liberal is also not offensive to me. Perhaps take some time and read what those words mean bc right now its obvious that you dont know

    Z.... D....

    @sammy scotch Calling someone a liberal is name calling? Sensitive much?

    Z.... D....

    @sammy scotch NPR isn't what I would call impartial reporting.
    I agree this country is in trouble, but anyone who thinks it started with Trump is delusional.
    Trump is an egomaniac I admit, I dont like him personally, however I do believe he actually cares about our country.
    I have yet to see one instance of him being racist, just a bunch of media and misinformed people calling him racist with no proof.

    Z.... D....

    @Max Powers 1. You cited a whole bunch of history to retort a reply about "the current GOP and it's fascist tendencies"
    2. How could you call Trump an egomaniac and still believe he cares about our country? Do you know what that word means?
    3. Trump's companies have been called to court over their racist, discriminatory practices. Just one example. https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2019/06/trump-racism-comments/588067/ If you don't like the Atlantic research it further for yourself. It's also not the only example if pull your head out of the sand.

    Currently starting to get over meth induced pyschosis that started 1 year ago even tho I quit using, 2 months into the period, I still get an incredibly Eriee feeling listening to this.

  11. W.... ....

  12. S.... H....
