Even a Fool Learns to Love — текст песни (David Bowie)

There was a time, the laughing time

I took my heart to every party

Theyd point my way

"how are you today? "

"will you make us laugh? chase our blues away? "

Their funny man wont let them down

No, hed dance and prance and be their clown

That time, the laughing time

When even a fool learns to love



The clown turned around

And saw her smile, oh how she loved me

Shed clap her hands and beg me stay

To make her laugh, to make her life gay

Who wants the love of all the world

When here was love in the eyes of just one girl

That day, that precious day

When even a fool learns to love



But oh, how I dreamed, a marvelous dream

Where all of the heavens or so it had seemed

With thunderous applause looked down from above

On a clown and an angel so much in love

Ill stay with my dream, it takes such a dream

And even a fool learns to love



That day, that hateful day

The joke turned stale, the game was over

Those spiteful words "oh, go away. who wants to play? "

"its getting late now."

My world, my funny world

Had lost its mask and shown a broken heart

A time, a sour time

When even a fool learns to love



But oh, how I dreamed, a marvelous dream

Where all of the heavens or so it had seemed

With thunderous applause looked down from above

On a clown and an angel so much in love

Ill stay with my dream, it takes such a dream

And even a fool learns to love
