The Rosebuds - Christmas Clown Lyrics
Hello there Christmas eve, the stains set on my feetcurled up in my wounds, the snow comes down in flumesSurely you would know, a light under the snowa handles frozen fate, a lovers lonely sleighAnd you could see me walking, and I'll never turn aroundthey said I'm a clown, a Christmas clownBags over my shoes, my scarf's in tattered twosthe hum beneath the lights, where I held you Christmas nightA family seated there, I won't what I always fearmy grandma used to say, it's good on Christmas eveBut surprise I'm always talking talking and never listeningyou think I'm a flea, a Christmas fleaI could smell the snow, under the slope of my red nosethese new clothes made me a man, but the time carved up my handsSo I strive off in the night, another Christmas won't be rightand when we meet under the lights, just promise to drive on byCause I was only stopping by for a little while in your lifeoh Christmas tonight, Christmas tonightSo we turned upside down, in the lifeboat we have foundAnd you tucked away the sails, and I feel back down the stairsBut that was my last Christmas and I'll lay right here on the groundoh you think I'm a clown, the Christmas clown
