Picture the clown with his silly frown upside down Picture the big cat that docilely sat as you gave it a pat Picture the main ring where the bearded lady will sing the unicorns, risen at dawn will trail a rainbow on a string Picture the strongman holding a child's hand when everybody just ran Picture the journey that involved you and me Picture the empty seat Now picture the chaos the emptiness of loss all the glamour and gloss Picture the heartbreak and joy see the little boy, with the toy? It's the one thing he don't allow others to destroy Picture waking at dawn understanding in a yawn nothing will be different this morn Picture this, the colours are wild life is more difficult to adhere Picture the difficulty of this postcard Wish you were here
