John Illsley Sometimes
Well, sometimes you can't tell east from west
Sometimes you run without a rest
Just when you think that luck is best
You face the acid test
And sometimes the king will lose his throne
Sometimes the queen wants to be alone
Just when his loveful heart is grown
Her heart is sinking like a stone
Sometimes the rain comes falling down
Like the tears of a clown
Well, sometimes there's too many shades of gray
Looks to me like a dangerous game to play
Don't get tired upon a way
If you overrun your stay
Sometimes the rain comes falling down
Like the tears of a clown
Sometimes your feet don't touch the ground
On life's merry-go-round
Well, sometimes you can dance with magic groove
Then again your feet refuse to move
Could be country, could be the blues
Could be a headline in the news
And sometimes your life can hit you hard
You find no winners on the court
Some days when the riding gets too hot
You need the sweepings of the part
Sometimes the rain comes falling down
Like the tears of a clown
Sometimes your feet don't touch the ground
On life's merry-go-round
Sometimes the rain comes falling down
Like the tears of a clown
Sometimes your feet don't touch the ground
On life's merry-go-round
