Lyrics

(FAYE)
CLOWNS IN A RING
STARING AT MY MEMORIES OF THE PAST, LOOKING BACK
FLAMES OF LOVE REKINDLING
STARE ROUND THE ROUND
WONDER WHY HE LEFT SO SOON
THE TEARS I HAVE KNOWN
ARE NOT SO DWINDLING
CLOWNS WASH THE SKY WITH TEARS I CRIED
OVER YOU, ALWAYS YOU IN MY MIND
NOW LOOKING BACK I STOP AND WONDER
IF THE LOVE WAS SO RIGHT, WAS SO WRONG

CLOWNS PLAY THEIR PART
SMILING WHILST THE AUDIENCE SUBSIDES
LEAVES AND SAYS GOODNIGHT
CLOWNS SAY THEIR LINES
STARE AT ALL THE FACES THEY ONCE KNEW
AND WHEN THE NIGHT IS THROUGH
TAKE THEIR HEARTS, LAY THEM ON THE LINE
WHILST THE CLOWNS TURN OUT THE LIGHTS ANOTHER TIME

(LAURA)
I HAD A LOVE, I SAW LOVE DIE
I WONDERED WHY IT ALL WENT SO WRONG
THE CLOWNS COULD SEE FIRST YOU THEN ME
FALL FOR ONE WHO HAD NO TIME FOR
FOR LOVE TO SHINE TO
SWEEP THE WEEPING WILLOWS FROM MY HEART
FROM MY SOUL, FROM MY LIFE
AND NOW THESE THINGS ARE STOOD BEFORE ME
TAKE ALL THOSE TEARS I CRIED AWAY

(BOTH)
CLOWNS PLAY THEIR PART
SMILING WHILST THE AUDIENCE SUBSIDES
LEAVES AND SAYS GOODNIGHT
CLOWNS SAY THEIR LINES
STARE AT ALL THE FACES THEY ONCE KNEW
AND WHEN THE NIGHT IS THROUGH
TAKE THEIR HEARTS, LAY THEM ON THE LINE
WHILST THE CLOWNS TURN OUT THE LIGHTS ANOTHER TIME

(FAYE)
CLOWNS IN A RING
STARING AT MY MEMORIES OF THE PAST, LOOKING BACK
FLAMES OF LOVE REKINDLING
STARE ROUND THE ROUND
WONDER WHY HE LEFT SO SOON
THE TEARS I HAD KNOWN
ARE NOT SO DWINDLING
CLOWNS WASH THE SKY WITH TEARS I CRIED
OVER YOU, ALWAYS YOU IN MY MIND
NOW LOOKING BACK I STOP AND WONDER
IF THE LOVE WAS SO RIGHT, WAS SO WRONG

(LAURA)
I HAD A LOVE, I SAW LOVE DIE
I WONDERED WHY IT ALL WENT SO WRONG
THE CLOWNS COULD SEE FIRST YOU THEN ME
FALL FOR ONE WHO HAD NO TIME FOR
FOR LOVE TO SHINE TO
SWEEP THE WEEPING WILLOWS FROM MY HEART
FROM MY SOUL, FROM MY LIFE
AND NOW THESE THINGS ARE STOOD BEFORE ME
TAKE ALL THOSE TEARS I CRIED AWAY

(BOTH)
CLOWNS PLAY THEIR PART
SMILING WHILST THE AUDIENCE SUBSIDES
LEAVES AND SAYS GOODNIGHT
CLOWNS SAY THEIR LINES
STARE AT ALL THE FACES THEY ONCE KNEW
AND WHEN THE NIGHT IS THROUGH
TAKE THEIR HEARTS, LAY THEM ON THE LINE
WHILST THE CLOWNS TURN OUT THE LIGHTS ANOTHER TIME
