He sat in the back
And hid behind
His smiles
His hands were clasped
His back was straight
His feelings kept
In files
And all the while
He wore his mask
And never made a peep
Before he let
The tears befall
He'd fall fast asleep
The Laughing Man
He'd trick us all
Nobody sees him weep
He lived by the lake
Alone with his dog
In his dirty yellow house
He wrote in his book
In his tall thinking tree
He'd write and write for hours
And all the while
He wore his mask
And never made a peep
Before he let
The tears befall
He'd fall fast asleep
The Laughing Man
He'd trick us all
Nobody sees him weep
He ran through the fields
Through the thorns and the mud
And kept his world from worry
He'd clean all his cuts
By the rock on the shore
He never told his story
And all the while
He wore his mask
And never made a peep
Before he let
The tears befall
He'd fall fast asleep
The Laughing Man
He'd trick us all
Nobody sees him weep
When he was boy He sat in the back And hid behind His smiles His hands were clasped His back was straight His feelings kept In files And all the while He wore his mask And never made a peep Before he let The tears befall He'd fall fast asleep The Laughing Man He'd trick us all Nobody sees him weep He lived by the lake Alone with his dog In his dirty yellow house He wrote in his book In his tall thinking tree He'd write and write for hours And all the while He wore his mask And never made a peep Before he let The tears befall He'd fall fast asleep The Laughing Man He'd trick us all Nobody sees him weep He ran through the fields Through the thorns and the mud And kept his world from worry He'd clean all his cuts By the rock on the shore He never told his story And all the while He wore his mask And never made a peep Before he let The tears befall He'd fall fast asleep The Laughing Man He'd trick us all Nobody sees him weep Explain Request ×
