Tears of a Clown

All his life he did his best for all

And the crown of laughter hanging low

The spotlight in the ring

The choruses that sing

The paint and masquerade was just a show

The clown - the clown

Happiness around

Just a soul lonely in the crowd

The clown - the clown

His heart is all alone

No one wants the tears of a clown

The living of the glory and applause

The circus tent, the only home he knows

The cover-up is bold,

The mask becoming cold

It's easier to let the eyelids close

The final curtain falls for all to see

The final score, the circus melody

His star that shone so bright,

Gave comfort in the night

The light that always held him set him free
