Artist/Band: Strawbs
Lyrics for Song: The Actor
Lyrics for Album: Strawbs by Choice [1974]



Strawbs - The Actor



The storm casts off the shadows as it slips behind the clouds

The peacock looks dejected though his tail is standing proud

The actor tries to prove that he's the face in every crowd.



Oh there stands your hero losing his sight

Confused by his symptoms, and trembling with fright

Oh give him the key, won't you show him the light.



The judge lays down his papers with the hearing at an end

The parish priest reminds you that he's everybody's friend

And the actor wastes his money trying to keep up with the trend.



The fisherman weighs anchor with his catch of drowning souls

The foxes fear the hunters as they hide deep in their holes

While the actor lies down naked on his bed of glowing coals.
