Script For A Jesters Tear
Marillion
So here I am once more In the playground of the broken hearts One more experience one more entry In a diary self penned Yet another emotional sui-cide Overdosed on sentiments and pride Too late to say I love you Too late to restage the play Abandoning the relics In my playground of yesterday I’m losing on the swings I’m losing on the roundabouts I’m losing on the swings I’m losing on the roundabouts Too much too soon too far to go ( play then on the drums - then ) Too late to play the game is over The game is over So here I am once more In the playground of the broken hearts I’m losing on the swings I’m losing on the roundabouts The game is over over over... Yet another emotional suicide Overdosed on sentiments and pride I’m losing on the swings I’m losing on the roundabouts The game is over Too late to say "I love you" Too late to restage the play The game is over / / / / / / I act the role in classic style Of a martyr carved with twisted smile To bleed the lyric for this song To write the rights to right my wrongs An epi-taph to a broken dream To exer-cise this silent scream A screa------eam that’s born from sorrow / / / / / / I never did write that love song The words just never seemed to flow Now sad in reflection did I gaze through perfection And examine the shadows on the other side of the morning And examine the shadows on the other side of the morning Promised wedding now awake promised wedding now awake awake awake awake The fool escaped from paradise will look over his shoulder and cry Sit and chew on daffodils and struggle to answer why As you grow up and leave the playground where you kissed your prince and found your frog Remember the jester that showed you tears The script for tears So I’ll hold my peace forever when you wear your bridal gown In the silence of my shame the mute that sang the sirens’ song Has gone solo in the game I’ve gone so-lo in the game But the game is over Can you still say you love me? Can you still say you love me? Can you still say that you love me? Do you love me do you love me? Do you love me do you love me? Do you love me the Jester’s tear? Can you still say you love me? Can you still say you love me? Can you still say that you love me? The Jester’s tear The Jesters tear Do you love me? Do you love me do you love me?
