Song Description
So many guys feel macho to the degree they forget to pay attention to the one that truly matters 'til the well runs dry. Then one reflects upon why?
This is a song of introspection in which the creator realizes he is no more than a clown.

Lyrics
Reflection of a Clown
I'm alone here tonight in this dim barroom light,
trying to figure why I sit alone here tonight.
I sit here wondering why my true loved one has gone.
Why did she leave me I feel so alone.
At the bottom of my glass, the answer there I found.
For looking back at me was the reflection of a clown.
Now, I can see my life in the past.
The way that I was a true love could not last.
For I cheated and lied, and I did my love wrong.
Now, I can see why my loved one has gone.
At the bottom of my glass, the answer there I found.
For looking back at me was the reflection of a clown.
(Modulate)
A clown who could not see what love should really be.
A clown who would not listen to his loved one beg and plea.
A clown who truly felt that his loved one would stay.
A clown who did not know why his love left that day.
At the bottom of my glass, the answer there I found.
For looking back at me was the reflection of a clown.
Yes, looking back at me.... was the reflection of a clownnnnnnnn
hu - hu - hunnnnnn.... hu - hu - hunnnnnnnnnn.
