Bruce Cockburn Planet Of The Clowns Lyrics

Planet Of The Clowns Lyrics

Stare into the moonlight Silver fingers press my eyes Probing in my heart with
longing 



These footprints by the sea's edge Disappearing grain by
grain Lose their form but keep their substance 



As the waves roar
on the beach like a squadron of F16's Ebb and flow like the better days they
say this world has seen 



Government by outrage Hunger camps and
shanty towns Dignity and love still holding 



This bluegreen ball
in black space Filled with beauty even now battered and abused and lovely 



And the waves roar on the beach like a squadron of F16's Ebb and flow
like the better days they say this world has seen 



Each one in our
own heart Desperate to know where we stand Planet of the clowns in wet shoes
