Clown Lyrics by Bonnie Dobson

Good Morning Rain

0

[Verse 1]
The lights have gone dim
And the people are gone
And clown goes back into his caravan
Hangs up his smile
On a hook by the door
And lets his ragged coat slip to the floor
[Verse 2]
With the sound of the children's laughter
Still ringing in his ears
Laughing 'cause they're happy
They laugh to hide their fears
[Verse 3]
Clown loves the children
For like him they feel
The world does not exist tonight
And only the circus
Only the circus
Only the circus
Is real
[Verse 4]
As real as the elephants, that tramplе in the rink
Real like thе trapeze, see it swing
Real like the man, who eats real fire
Real like the lady on the high wire
[Verse 5]
But the people are gone
His identity gone
Clown peeps through the window of his caravan
From the trees on the common
The town looks so small
Clown puts on his coat and goes out the door
[Verse 6]
And the distant neon lights, they shine above the town
Looks almost like a circus, thinks Clown
And half with fear, and half with delight
Shivering, shaking, Clown stands laughing
Clown stands laughing
Clown is laughing, at the night
