The Painted Child - Charles Aznavour[00:00:00]
The name on the wall is me[00:00:08]
The cry in the dark is me[00:00:12]
The mark of the child I sign[00:00:16]
The name on the wall[00:00:19]
I am the painted child the maker of confusion[00:00:23]
With rainbows in my hair and magic on my face[00:00:27]
A phantom of the street an optical illusion[00:00:31]
Who hears a different beat who runs a different race[00:00:35]
I am the painted child I am the mischief maker[00:00:43]
The beggar at the feast the fiddler at the ball[00:00:46]
I know the words of songs I am the Sabbath breaker[00:00:50]
The caller in the night the writing on the wall[00:00:54]
The name on the wall is me[00:00:58]
The cry in the dark is me[00:01:02]
The mark of the child I sign[00:01:05]
The name on the wall[00:01:09]
I am the painted child the child who is a stranger[00:01:13]
And those who once came near now turn and walk away[00:01:17]
And everywhere is fear and everywhere is danger[00:01:20]
These are the masks we wear these are the parts we play[00:01:24]
I am the painted child the crier and the chorus[00:01:32]
I strike upon the drum for funerals and games[00:01:36]
And others there have come in centuries before us[00:01:40]
To fill the world with noise and dance among the flames[00:01:43]
The name on the wall is me[00:01:47]
The cry in the dark is me[00:01:51]
The mark of the child I sign[00:01:55]
The name on the wall[00:01:58]
I am the painted child the clown and the protester[00:02:02]
A creature of the time and seldom what I seem[00:02:06]
And call me what you will a renegade or jester[00:02:10]
But still I chill your heart and still I haunt your dream[00:02:13]
I'll sing beside your grave half minstrel and half mourner[00:02:21]
I'll sing of years gone by and bridges never crossed[00:02:25]
I am the painted child who stands on any corner[00:02:29]
I am the child you loved I am the child you lost[00:02:32]
The name on the wall is mine[00:02:36]
Look in to my face and see[00:02:40]
The strange painted child[00:02:43]
Is me[00:02:48]
