Текст песни: You Wore the Crown; I Played the Clown. + перевод

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
