A Lover's Clown - Clint Black

Tiny pieces of my heart

Like confetti everywhere

Hidden sorrows in the dark

You can feel it in the air

The spotlight finds me

I can no longer hide my frown

Say hello to a lover’s clown

Distorted mirror images

Turn the good to bad

If that’s not the way it is

Why am I so sad?

Strangers laughter is the only sound

Silence from a lover’s clown

Girl that’s me everybody’s laughin' at

With a big red nose and the tears and the silly act

Comedy, tragedy, reality

It all plays the same

If you don’t want me

Tumblin' from the high wire

Without a net

You’re saying I’ll stop falling for you

But I haven’t yet

The spotlight dims and the big top’s comin' down

Curtains over the lover’s clown

Girl, that’s me everybody’s laughin' at

With a big red nose and the tears and the silly act

Comedy, tragedy, reality

It all plays the same

If you don’t want me

Tiny pieces of my heart

Scattered everywhere

Like a fool I played my part

But you were never really there

A new day dawns and the big top’s leavin' town

You can say goodbye to a lover’s clown

Say goodbye
