Soulful Clown

by Terry Callier

on The Chess/Cadet Singles...Plus! (2018)

When a neighborhood I come from
was kind a ... drum
There was always music there
And also things to run from
broken dreams and ...
I do believe I had my share...

Every street continue a story
how it was and what it became
and it leaves an image before me
and an echo's repeating my name

And I remember Jim was a tough guy
..
He was always raisen Hell, yeah
But he wasn't rough
Now he's a nice and ... guy
If you ever get him known well

oh... It seems I just can remember
all the places fading from view
all the memories are turning into music
now I'm bringing it all back to you

la-la-la

... when I got to higher scool
I played ... fool
worked out of masterplan
last where I broke my first rule
I blew my first and last ...
Unless we're all be ...

Pictures passed levaing fake traces
mirorrs flash a protrait that shows
a few tears ... faces
and a song from long-long ago

I was such a soulful clown
until I didn't see my game go down

Yeah, I was such a soulful clown
till I didn't see my game go down

and harder time is flown
and finally I'm a clown, man!
like they say: you live and learn
I'm finally on my own
standing all alone
I've passed the point of no return

And here is a prayaer for your friends and relations
and a tune you might recognize
but I have just one cancellation
when I'm wearing my favourite discuss

And children I'll be such a soulful clown
till I never see my game go down

Yeah, I was such a soulful clown
till they don't see my game go down
