Hidden sorrows in the dark
You can feel it in the air
I can no longer hide my frown
Say hello to a lover's clown
If that's not the way it is
Strangers laughter is the only sound
Silence from a lover's clown
Girl that's me everybody's laughing at
With a big red nose and the tears and the silly act
Tumbling from the high wire
You're saying I'll stop falling for you
The spotlight dims and the bigtop's coming down
Curtains o'er the lover's clown
Girl, that's me everybodies laughing at
With a big red nose and the tears and the silly act
Like a fool I played my part
But you were never really there
A new day dawns and the bigtop's leaving town
You can say goodbye to a lover's clown
