Script For a Jester's Tear
(Derek Disck/Steve Rothery/ Pete Trewavas/ Micheal Pointer/Mark Kelly)So here I am once more
In the playground of the broken hearts
One more experience, one more entry in a diary, self-pennedYet another emotional suicideOverdosed on sentiment and prideToo late to say I love youToo late to restage the play
Abandoning the relics in my playground of yesterdayI'm losing on the swings
I'm losing on the roundaboutsI'm losing on the swings
I'm losing on the roundaboutsToo much, too soon, too far to go, too late to play
The game is over, the game is overSo here I am once more
In the playground of the broken hearts
I'm losing on the swings
I'm losing on the roundabouts
The game is overYet another emotional suicideOverdosed on sentiment and pride
I'm losing on the swings
I'm losing on the roundabouts, roundabouts, the game is overToo late to say I love you
Too late to restage the play
The game is overI act the role in classic styleOf a martyr carved with twisted smile
To bleed the lyric for this songTo write the rites to right my wrongsAn epitaph to a broken dream
To exercise this silent scream
A scream that's born from sorrowI never did write that lovesong
The words just never seemed to flow
Now sad in reflection did I gaze through perfectionAnd examine the shadows on the other side of morningAnd examine the shadows on the other side of morningPromised wedding now a wake
Promised wedding now a wake, awakeThe fool escaped from paradiseWill look over his shoulder and cry
Sit and chew on daffodils and struggle to answer "Why?"As you grow up and leave the playgroundWhere you kissed your prince and found your frog
Remember the jester that showed you tears, the script for tearsSo I'll hold our peace forever when you wear your bridal gown
In the silence of my shame the mute that sang the sirens' song
Has gone solo in the game
I've gone solo in the game, but the game is overCan you still say you love me
Can you still say you love meCan you still say that you love me
Do you love me
Do you love me
Do you love me
Do you love me, the jester's tearCan you still say you love me
Can you still say you love me
Can you still say that you love me?The jester's tear, the jester's tearDo you love me
