Track: No Kind of Fool

Tommy asks Mattie to go back to the cemetery. She says no. Then she doesn't. A duet written for Chapter Six of The Call of Mammitum.

Tommy Sinclair has one direction: forward. Mattie Mae Albright has one default: no. Chapter Six is the moment he convinces her anyway—back to the cemetery, back to the tomb, back toward whatever is calling her name. This is what that conversation sounds like. Read Chapter Six →

[INTRO]
[STEEL GUITAR]

[VERSE 1]
[MAN]
When life tried its best to defeat me,
I was scared to go out into the world.
Home was the only place I wanted to be.
Until I met a wise man who said, 
You'd be no kind of fool just to hide away
But nothing wonderful ever happened that way.

[VERSE 1B]
[WOMAN]
You weren't there, how could you know
I tell you, I'm just too scared to go
You didn't see it
You didn't feel it
I'm sorry, but I'm never going out there again.

[CHORUS]
[DUET – HARMONY]
You'd be no kind of fool
Just to wanna stay there at home
No, no kind of fool at all
To be safe where you're free from harm
No, no kind of fool
just to hide in the dark alone 
But, baby, that's not what life is for

[INTERLUDE]
[DUET – AD LIB]
No, no kind of fool
No, no
Not a fool at all
No, no, no kind of fool at all

[VERSE 2]
[MAN]
I can't imagine what you went through 
But I can see how it frightened you.
You'd be no kind of fool if you wanted to stay safe and sound
But I'll be right there beside you
I can be afraid there with you
I'm sorry you're scared, but this time you've got a friend.

[VERSE 2B]
[WOMAN]
I'm still scared, But I think you're right, 
I wanna see what's out there tonight.
With you at my side
I won't have to hide
I'll be scared, but at least I'll be there with a friend.

[CHORUS]
[DUET – HARMONY]
You'd be no kind of fool
Just to wanna stay there at home
No, no kind of fool at all
To be safe where you're free from harm
No, no kind of fool
just to hide in the dark alone 
But, baby, that's not what life is for

[BREAK]

[OUTRO]
[WOMAN]
I'm so scared
and I don't know what's going to happen
But, baby, I'd be some kind of fool
Not to go anywhere with you.

[end]
