Song lyrics

[Verse 1:]
Sweet Sunday afternoon, September's golden brown
Summer always fades too soon like the laughter of a clown
And shadows fill the room where sorrows come to drown
Your heart's a lead balloon as you sink another one down

[Pre-Chorus 1:]
I know it numbs the way you feel
Blurs what is right and what is real
And there's no love left you can steal

[Chorus:]
For the joker laughs alone
As the jester's outsmarted
And the gambler tries to win back what he's lost
And the sad man sings a song
For the drunk and broken-hearted
And the fool, he never knows how much it cost

[Verse 2:]
The sweet Sunday afternoon and all that can be heard
Is an old familiar tune though you've forgotten half the words
And sunlight floods the room like a silent flock of birds
And hope's a red balloon, disappearing through the clouds

[Pre-Chorus 2:]
I know it numbs the way you feel
Blurs what is right and what is real
And there's no one here to make a deal with

[Chorus:]
For the joker laughs alone
And the jester's outsmarted
And the gambler tries to win back what he's lost
Oh, and the sad man, he sings a song
For the drunk and broken-hearted
And the fool, he never knows how much it cost

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Outro:]
Yeah well the joker he laughs alone
As the jester's outsmarted
And the gambler tries to win back what he's lost
Oh, and the sad man, he sings a song
For the drunk and broken-hearted
Oh, and the fool, he never knows how much it cost
Well, the fool, he never knows how much it cost
