This is a song about couple of adult people who have spent, oh, quiet a long time together

till one day one of them gets restless and decides to leave

whether it is the man or woman who left is unimportant-it is a brakup

and it is a lovely marriage of words and music written by Stephen Sondheim

Isn’t it rich

Me here at last on the ground

And you in mid-air
你却依然悬在半空中
Send in the clowns
让小丑们进场吧
Isn’t it bliss

Don’t you approve

One who keeps tearing around

One who can’t move

Making my entrance again with my usual flair

Sure of my lines

Nobody is there

Don’t you love farce

My fault I fear
