The Clown

[00:13.84] The time has passed for trying to speak
[00:20.19] I'll smoke in a day enough for a week
[00:28.69] And all the while
[00:35.74] I will smile
[00:44.20] Lost in a pipe dream
[00:49.86] It's off to the circus with people like me
[00:59.49] And all the while
[01:05.67] I will smile
[01:15.29] On opening night
[01:21.14] I'll take you to see
[01:27.70] Their best performer
[01:33.21] My dear it's me
[01:41.79] The audience will laugh and cheer
[01:49.71] Well up with such joyous tears
[01:57.12] And all the while
[02:04.20] I will smile
[02:12.23] And as they all leave to return to their homes
[02:18.85] I'll wonder what it's like to belong
[02:27.21] And all the while
[02:33.32] I will smile
[02:44.92] How could you forgive me
[02:50.95] For running away
[02:56.82] You'll search me for answers
[03:02.86] But what can I say
[03:09.10] And as I look back over the days
[03:15.39] The happiness I bring others won't stay
[03:23.85] But all the while
[03:30.68] We will smile
[03:36.89] We will smile
[03:39.45]
