Tears in the Rain Songtext
von Arena

This is a clown′s tale
Falling over again and again
He paints his face with colours from the sun
But he is living in the rain

This is a clown's tale
Jumping up, spinning round and around
He kicks his heels to the laughter of the crowd
But from inside there is no sound

Why do we all fail to see
The darkness in another′s heart?
Why do we all turn our backs
On open wounds and failed attractions?
Painted on the canvas there
Written in the books we share

This is a fool's tale
Rolling over again and again
Telling jokes to cool the anger of a king
But he can never be the same


This is a fool's tale
Tripping up, spinning round and around
Try to walk beyond the words of the wise
Then reach a place too high
Show them you can fly
And dream until you hit the ground

Don′t offer sympathy when you just walked away
Don′t play apologies and sentimental games
I stood before the world and gave you my heart
And it may never beat again
Don't give me hollow tears or empty cries of shame
Don′t try to turn away by throwing me the blame
I stood before the world and gave you my soul
And now I'm living in the rain

This is a clown′s tale
Falling over again and again
He paints his face with colours from the sun
But he is lying in
He is dying in
He is crying in the rain
