Marillion - Script for a jester's tear - live at the hammersmith odeon 18/4/83;2009 digital remaster lyrics

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 sentiments 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 is over So here I am once more In the playground of the broken hearts I'm losing on the swings I'm losing on the roundabouts The game is over, over, over Over, over, over, over, over Yet another emotional suicide Overdosed on sentiments and pride I'm losing on the swings I'm losing on the roundabouts The game is over Too late to say, "I love you" Too late to restage the play The game is over I act the role in cla**ic style Of a martyr carved with twisted smile To bleed the lyric for this song To write the rights to right my wrongs An epitaph to a broken dream To exercise this silent scream A scream that's born from sorrow 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 the morning And examine the shadows On the other side of morning Promised wedding now awake Promised wedding now awake The fool escaped 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? Can you still say you love me? Can you still say that you love me? Do you love me, do you love me? Do you love me, do you love me? Do you love me just as you did Can you still say you love me? Can you still say you love me? Can you still say that you love me? Just as did, just did Do you love me, do you love me? Do you love me, do you love me?
