Script for a Jester's Tear - 1997 Remaster

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 sentiment and pride
 Too late to say I love you
 Too late to restage the play
 Abandoning the relics in my playground of yesterday
 ♪
 Im losing on the swings
 Im losing on the roundabouts
 Im losing on the swings
 Im 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
 ♪
 Im losing on the swings
 Im losing on the roundabouts
 
 The game is over
 ♪
 Yet another emotional suicide
 Overdosed on sentiment and pride
 Im losing on the swings
 Im losing on the roundabouts, 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 classic style
 Of a martyr carved with twisted smile
 To bleed the lyric for this song
 To write the rites to right my wrongs
 An epitaph to a broken dream
 To exercise this silent scream
 A scream thats born from sorrow
 ♪
 I never did write that lovesong
 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 morning
 And examine the shadows on the other side of morning
 Promised wedding now a wake
 Promised wedding now a wake, 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 Ill hold our 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
 Ive 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, the jesters tear
 Can you still say you love me
 Can you still say you love me
 Can you still say that you love me?
 The jesters tear, the jesters tear
 Do you love me
