lirik lagu leon rosselson - the juggler

[intro]
i remember a market town, a sunlit square
the scent of flowers everywhere, bright hopes of summer
the market stalls were waterfalls of light and colour
and in the sp~ce cleared at the center
they came to catch the passing crowds
guitarists, fire eaters, clowns
and all those singers of sad songs

[verse 1]
and the juggler
he was the one who caught the eye
the juggler
oddly dressed; white suit, bow tie
and five clubs tumbling through the sky in fine formation
the crowds gazed upwards, held their breath, for fear one club should fall to earth
it seemed that only love and faith kept them in motion

[verse 2]
see how he makes the five clubs dance
dance to the rhythm of his flowing song
his face upturned, his eyes intense, oblivious of the admiring throng
as they utter cries like delighted children
shielding their eyes against the sun
and will him to keep the dance unbroken
and cheer and throw him coins
and pass on
and cheer and throw him coins
and pass on
[verse 3]
it seems strange now how we didn’t see
how discontent burned in his eyes
as with all of us, we believed, he was beyond those tempting lies
aim high
reach for the sky
never be satisfied with what you have achieved
we saw in his art the hope of a happy ending
like the promise we make to children, all will be well

[verse 4]
and for a time it seemed time had no meaning
though the stars wheeled round and the sun rose and fell
and once i dreamed i saw five white doves flying
for our love was lived in the grace of the jugglers spell
and all that summer, we watched him in that sunlit square
weave dancing patterns in the air like words on water
we had no need
we took no heed
of past or future
ours was a world no one could enter
a drift of sun~washed days so bright that they still light my candle light
they were the last we ever knew

[verse 5]
and the juggler
there he stands, white suit, bow tie
the juggler
hurling 6 clubs to the sky
their wings are clipped, they cannot fly
all is confusion
once more he tries
we hold our breath
but always one club falls to earth
it seems we have placed our faith in an illusion
[verse 6]
his spirit burns to gain control
but the rhythm always falls away
the structure topples down yet still he perseveres
and then one day, as if by magic he finds the knack
it seems so easy now it’s done
again the dance flows on unbroken
again the crowd throws coins and pass on
and cheer and throw him coins and pass on

[verse 7]
on that day of triumph, new hope was born
yet afterwards it seems so low
locked in his room, a soul apart
and why he did it was never known
he wrote a note saying
‘there’s no such thing’
and carefully he planted a bullet in his heart
who would have thought he’d find so sad an ending
and after that for us nothing went well

[verse 8]
and for a time it seemed life had no meaning
but the stars wheeled round and the sun rose and fell
and you can’t forever feed on dreams of white doves flying
and time soon worked to cure the jugglers spell
[outro]
i remember a market town, a sunlit square
the scent of flowers everywhere, bright hopes of summer
the market stalls were waterfalls of light and colour
and in the sp~ce cleared at the center
they came to catch the passing crowds
guitarists, fire eaters, clowns
and all those singers of sad songs
