A Clown’s Heart Lyrics by Oysterband

This House Will Stand: The Best of Oysterband (1998-2015)

0

[Chorus]
Clown's heart and a mandolin
Crazy-hearted fools sing as one
We tear these old walls down
And we'll bring back, bring back the sun
[Verse 1]
I build a castle in the air
Battlement and winding stair
Legends and cloudy dreams are floating all around
Half magician, half the fool
I never kept no golden rule
Like any man in need I took my shelter where I found it
[Chorus]
Clown's heart and a mandolin
Crazy-hearted fools sing as one
We tear these old walls down
And we'll bring back, bring back the sun
[Verse 2]
Some go read the stars abovе
Or hunt the unicorn of perfect lovе
Or take their money when the nights are getting cold
All I ever did was play
I troubadoured my life away
I'll tell you all about it when you're just a little older
[Chorus]
Clown's heart and a mandolin
Crazy-hearted fools sing as one
We tear these old walls down
And we bring back, bring back the sun
Clown's heart and a mandolin
Crazy-hearted fools sing as one
We tear these old walls down
And then we bring back, bring back the sun
[Verse 3]
Time is tight, I can't stay long
The wind that shakes our life so strong
Six feet by two is my destination
Sometimes it feels as if
The world is driving off a cliff
Our saving human grace is still imagination
[Chorus]
Clown's heart and a mandolin
Crazy-hearted fools sing as one
We tear these old walls down
And we'll bring back, bring back the sun
Clown's heart and a mandolin
Crazy-hearted fools sing as one
We tear these old walls down
And we'll bring back, bring back the sun
And we'll bring back, bring back the sun
And we'll bring back, bring back the sun
