From the recording A Little Piece Of Heaven
A song for those of us who missed out on a lifelong relationship, and how it feels as we go beyond the age of attractiveness.
Lyrics
Like A Clown

I thought I was cool, I used to be hip
I was so sure, of every step
But time has a way of keeping it real
And when you walk by, do you know how I feel?
Like a clown
Feel like a clown
When I try to convey that I want to
I keep tumbling around
Like a clown
I Feel like a clown
When I try to relay that I want you
I keep tumbling around
Don’t want that reflection, put on a face
Covering up the time ticking away
For all the paint, it’s still me underneath
And when you walk by, do you know how I feel?
Like a clown
Feel like a clown
When I try to convey that I want to
I keep tumbling around
Like a clown
I Feel like a clown
When I try to relay that I want you
I keep tumbling around
Ooh, will you play with me?
A sad and lonely clown
It seems like my feet always get in the way
Wondering how I’m gonna trip up today
Time has a way of keeping it real
And when you walk by, do you know how
I’m gonna feel about you now?
Like a clown
Feel like a clown
When I try to convey that I want to
I keep tumbling around
Like a clown
I Feel like a clown
When I try to relay that I want you
I keep tumbling around
