A Song for the Drunk and Broken Hearted

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Sweet Sunday afternoon September's golden brown Summer always fades too soon Like the laughter of a clown And shadows fill the room Where sorrows come to drown Your heart's a lead balloon As you sink another one down [Pre-Chorus] I know it numbs the way you feel Blurs what is right and what is real And there's no love left you can steal [Chorus] For the joker laughs along As the jester's outsmarted The gambler tries to win back what he's lost And the sad man sings a song For the drunk and broken hearted And the fool, he never knows how much it cost [Verse 2] Sweet Sunday afternoon And all that can be heard Is an old familiar tune Though you've forgotten half the words And sunlight floods the room Like a silent flock of birds And hope's a red balloon Disappearing through the clouds [Pre-Chorus] I know it numbs the way you feel Blurs what is right and what is real There's no one here to make a deal with [Chorus] For the joker laughs along And the jester's outsmarted The gambler tries to win back what he's lost Oh, and the sad man, he sings a song For the drunk and broken hearted And the fool, he never knows how much it cost [Instrumental Bridge] [Chorus] Yea well the joker, he laughs along As the jester's outsmarted The gambler tries to win back what he's lost Yeah, and the sad man, he sings a song For the drunk and broken hearted And the fool, he never knows how much it cost Well the fool, he never knows how much it cost
