Drumming Clown - Shawn Mullins[00:00:00]
As the lights go down[00:00:18]
The drumming clown[00:00:20]
Whistled a melody[00:00:21]
And as the rain pours down[00:00:25]
His happy face[00:00:27]
Turned into a sad one[00:00:28]
The autumn wind reminded him[00:00:36]
That the circus had come and gone[00:00:39]
So he opened a pack of swisher sweets[00:00:43]
And whistles down the first one[00:00:46]
His clothes are ragged[00:00:49]
And his hat is dusty[00:00:55]
His drum is missing snares[00:00:57]
He maybe laughin and he may be cryin[00:01:01]
But no one knows nor cares[00:01:04]
His belly's empty[00:01:10]
But his heart is full[00:01:11]
He knows where he belongs[00:01:13]
So he steps aboard that lovely train[00:01:17]
And he whitles his favorite song[00:01:20]
And as he sleeps[00:01:33]
He dreams of all the pretty girls he's seen throughout his life[00:01:34]
And though his dreams are sweet[00:01:39]
His aching feet[00:01:41]
Awake him in the night[00:01:43]
He wakes to the sound of thunder[00:01:52]
And he thinks of a reason why[00:01:57]
Then he hangs his head to cry[00:02:05]
Then he drifted off to a deeper sleep[00:02:12]
That no one could disturb[00:02:16]
And when he woke[00:02:21]
He was at a place that was higher than the birds[00:02:22]
He said my god i'm here at last[00:02:29]
Is this meant to be[00:02:32]
I've lived the life of a hobo clown[00:02:37]
Whistle tunes for money[00:02:41]
And his lord spoke up[00:02:44]
And said my friend[00:02:47]
You are not alone[00:02:49]
You've lived a good life my drumming clown[00:02:52]
And now you have a home[00:02:57]
And somewhere a stockboy opens a crate[00:03:04]
And finds the butt of an old cigar[00:03:16]
He hears a distant whistling[00:03:22]
Then he gazes as the starshe gazes as the stars[00:03:25]
