Lieblingslied
Das ist schon lange eins meiner liebsten Lieder. Doch erst vor kurzem habe ich den Inhalt begriffen.
Script for A Jester's Tear
So here I am once more in the playground
of the broken hearts,
one more experience, one more entry in
a diary, self-penned
Yet another emotional suicide
overdosed on sentiment and pride
Too late to say I love you
too late to restage the play
Abandoning the relics in my playground
of yesterday
I'm losing on the swings, I'm losing on
the roundabouts
I'm losing on the swings, I'm losing on
the roundabouts
Too much, too soon, too far, to go, too late,
to play, the game is over
The game's over
...
I never did write that love song
the words just never seemed to flow
Now sad in reflection
Did I gaze through perfection
and examine the shadows on
the other side of morning
and examine the shadows on
the other side of mourning
Promised wedding now awake
The fool excaped from paradise
will look over his shoulder and cry
Sit and chew on daffodils and
struggle to answer why?
As you grow up and leave the playground
where you kissed your prince
and found your frog
Remember the jester that showed
you tears, the script for tears
So I'll hold my 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 over
Can you still say you love me...
Do you love me, do you love me...
-Marillion-
