Tears Of A Clown Lyrics

All his life he did his best for all
And the crown of laughter
Hanging low
[ Lyrics from: http://www.cloverlyrics.com/e91507-udo~tears_of_a_clown_lyrics.html ]
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 clown, ...
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
The clown, ...
