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
