A CLOWN ON THE WALL (Charlie Chaplin)
Lyric & Music/Maynard James, John Duffin & Clay Wilson

Verse: On one cold, restless night
I stare at the portrait on the wall.
I love his comic flair
A walk with a fall.
He gave me
A man so shy and clever
But now he’s just A CLOWN ON THE WALL forever.

Verse: Late one night I see a light
That glows by his portrait on the wall.
I stumble down the stairs
A sound from the hall.
Here I see
A comic lost forever

A popgun at his skull with a slapstick fall.

Verse & Syncopation: He smiles and says he gave me a call.

Sometimes in the sunny weather…

Thank you so much, Steve. Yes, John Duffin did a great production of a tune I wrote way back in 1979, Brother. And Maynard James' vocals and the music are like Broadway. I'm too fortunate to work with such great musicians! God bless, Clay8-)
