(C) Eclectic Guitar - Tom Kater

The sun was high and it shone as we danced
On the sands of a time when we couldn't lose
The beating waves rose around our knees
With the champagne bubbles rising
A seagull cried in the gloaming light
As we walked by the shore at the end of the day
We sat by the fire and we talked of dreams
Breathing woodsmoke in the air
Floating along on the breeze

And then the clown came in banging on the furniture
Falling on the floor
While the chessman waits in the hall with a hidden card
The joker grins drinking all the wine again
Watching MTV
Leaving bubbles blown like wishes on a breeze

Your eyes the colour of the sparkling sea
As the thunder rolled in the afternoon
Raindrops upon your skin
Like silver rivers flowing
I watched you sleep in the firelight
As it cast red glow on the gloom of the night
A full moon rose on the top of the trees
And kissed a cloud goodbye
Floating along on the breeze

And then the clown came in banging on the furniture
Falling on the floor
While the chessman waits in the hall with a hidden card
The joker grins drinking all the wine again
Watching MTV
Leaving bubbles blown like wishes on a breeze

The joker's sense of humour hides a pea beneath a shell
You can hear the cosmic laughter as the chessman casts his spell
You're reaching out for heaven but you trip right into hell
And that's when you realise the joke's on you

And then the clown comes in banging on the furniture
Falling on the floor
While the chessman waits in the hall with a hidden card
The joker grins drinking all the wine again
Watching MTV
Leaving bubbles blown like wishes on a breeze
