Intro: (8 bars no lyrics) verse 1 Once I awoke The shadow of your smile had crossed my mind How could I know this was your last goodbye That's slipping through the windmills of the night You never understand when she's talking to you, little boy Oooh You never understand when she's talking to you She's too far away Is it heaven or hell We're drifting in the wake of our dreams And the world is a clown who cries And no one can tell is he real - is he, is he real? verse 2 Once I've cried Whenever I awoke without you A stranger in the thunder of the dark I'm praying to the sun to shine tonite You never understand when she's talking to you, mon amour Oooh You never understand when she's talking to you She's too far away Is it heaven or hell We're drifting in the wake of our dreams And the world is a clown who cries And no one can tell... Is it heaven or hell We're drifting in the wake of our dreams And the world is a clown who cries And no one can tell is he real! Instrumental Is it heaven or hell We're drifting in the wake of our dreams And the world is a clown who cries And no one can tell is he real - is he, is he real? A clown who cries.
