Sometimes - John Illsley, Simon Johnson, Paul Beavis

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
