Tears Of A Clown

Tears Of A Clown

The Beat Version

 

Now if there's a smile on my face

It's only there tryin' to fool the public

But when it comes down to foolin' you

Well, now honey, that's quite a different subject

 

So don't let my glad expression

Give you the wrong impression

'Cos really I'm sad, oh, I'm sadder than sad

Well, I'm hurt and I want you so bad

Like a clown, I appear to be glad, ooh, yeah

 

There's some sad things known to man

But ain't too much sadder than

The tears of a clown

When there's no one around

 

Say, oh, yeah, baby, baby, baby

Oh, yeah, baby, baby, baby

 

Now if I appear to be carefree

It's only to camouflage my sadness

And honey, to shield my pride, I try

To cover this hurt with a show of gladness

 

So don't let my show convince you

That I've been happy since you

Decided to go, oh, I need you so

Look, I'm hurt and I want you to know

Just for others I put on a show, ooh, yeah

 

There's some sad things known to man

But ain't too much sadder than tears of a clown

When there's no one around

 

Sitting in Dublin Airport on my lonesome, after saying goodbye to Family and Friends. Feeling a little lonely, but also looking so forward to seeing my two girls back in Sydney on Sunday morning. This was the first image I took during my Ireland trip. Tork Waterfall, in Killarney. The image is very deceiving. This waterfall is huge, and I got this on the first attempt. Hope you like "Tears Of A Clown". Cheers, Mike
