Sweet Sunday afternoon 00:55
September's golden brown 00:59
Summer always fades too soon 01:02
Like the laughter of a clown 01:05
Your shadows fill the room 01:09
Where sorrows come to drown 01:13
Your heart's a lead balloon 01:16
As you sink another one down 01:20
I know it numbs the way you feel 01:23
Blurs what is right and what is real 01:26
There's no love left you can steal 01:30
For the joker laughs along 01:36
As the jester's outsmarted 01:39
And the gambler tries to win back what he's lost 01:43
And the sad man sings a song 01:50
For the drunk and broken-hearted 01:54
And the fool, he never knows how much it costs 01:57
Sweet Sunday afternoon 02:16
And all that can be heard 02:20
Is an old familiar tune 02:23
Though you've forgotten half the words 02:26
And sunlight floods the room 02:30
Like a silent flock of birds 02:34
And hope's a red balloon 02:37
Disappearing through the clouds 02:41
I know it numbs the way you feel 02:44
Blurs what is right and what is real 02:48
There's no one here to make a deal with 02:51
For the joker laughs along 02:57
And the jester's outsmarted 03:00
And the gambler tries to win back what he's lost 03:04
Oh, and the sad man he sings a song 03:10
For the drunk and broken-hearted 03:14
And the fool, he never knows how much it costs 03:17
Yeah, well the joker he laughs along 03:22
Yeah, well the joker he laughs along 03:31
As the jester's outsmarted 03:34
The gambler tries to win back what he's lost 03:38
Oh, and the sad man he sings a song 03:45
For the drunk and broken-hearted 03:49
Oh, and the fool, he never knows how much it costs 03:52
Well the fool, he never knows how much it costs 03:57
Oh, and the sad man he sings a song 04:02
For the drunk and broken-hearted 04:06
Oh, and the fool, he never knows how much it costs 04:10
Well the fool, he never knows how much it costs 04:15
Well the fool, he never knows 04:20
How much it costs 04:22

[English]
Sweet Sunday afternoon
September's golden brown
Summer always fades too soon
Like the laughter of a clown
Your shadows fill the room
Where sorrows come to drown
Your heart's a lead balloon
As you sink another one down
I know it numbs the way you feel
Blurs what is right and what is real
There's no love left you can steal
For the joker laughs along
As the jester's outsmarted
And the gambler tries to win back what he's lost
And the sad man sings a song
For the drunk and broken-hearted
And the fool, he never knows how much it costs
Sweet Sunday afternoon
And all that can be heard
Is an old familiar tune
Though you've forgotten half the words
And sunlight floods the room
Like a silent flock of birds
And hope's a red balloon
Disappearing through the clouds
I know it numbs the way you feel
Blurs what is right and what is real
There's no one here to make a deal with
For the joker laughs along
And the jester's outsmarted
And the gambler tries to win back what he's lost
Oh, and the sad man he sings a song
For the drunk and broken-hearted
And the fool, he never knows how much it costs
Yeah, well the joker he laughs along
Yeah, well the joker he laughs along
As the jester's outsmarted
The gambler tries to win back what he's lost
Oh, and the sad man he sings a song
For the drunk and broken-hearted
Oh, and the fool, he never knows how much it costs
Well the fool, he never knows how much it costs
Oh, and the sad man he sings a song
For the drunk and broken-hearted
Oh, and the fool, he never knows how much it costs
Well the fool, he never knows how much it costs
Well the fool, he never knows
How much it costs
