What A Fool Believes Lyrics

He came from somewhere back in her long ago.
The sentimental fool don't see.
Tryin' hard to recreate
What had yet to be created
Once in her life.

   An extinct kind of a good and honest man that ''fell in love'' with the one that he ''believed'' was specially created for him, to be loved by him, but no matter how hard he tried she never 'honestly' loved him for who he was. A very sad song story where he had to let her go slowly with a lot of emotional and phycological pain.

   Its about a old romance. That he took more serious then she did, that part of he rises to her apology, meaning she is saying I'm sorry you feel this way but I no longer do. It seems he still cant for get her, but she thing I was nothing. I was in the same boat.

   Back in the days when men respected women, if a woman made an excuse to leave his company, the man would rise from a seated position and bow to her. Often he would kiss her hand, if they were old friends. Then she would leave.

   I wonder what "he rises to her apology" is meant to mean.
