You Wore The Crown; I Played The Clown Lyrics

I caught us laughing in a photograph
Long ago back in a faded past
One had a tomorrow
And one was marked for sorrow

Sing: whisper the waters whist
You wore the crown
I played the clown
Oh, yeah
And you went on to succeed
I was the one one had to bleed
Oh, why?

The was a party once in town somewhere
Through the bustling crowd I saw you there
Dawning day for you
And twilight for me 'Cause you were the summer fields
I was the autumn's colored leaves
Oh, yeah
And wreaths of red rose you'd tie
The willow garlands green got I
Oh, why?

If we played a cruel game
Your lot gave the gain
And, Lord, I drew the pain

And you claimed a realm to rule
Me, I turned sorrow's funny fool
'Tis true

But whisper the waters whist
You wore the crown
I played the clown
