A black pierrot

I am a black pierrot:

She did not love me,

So I crept into the night

And the night was black, too.

I am a black pierrot:

She did not love me,

So I wept until the red dawn

Dripped blood over the eastern hills

And my heart was bleeding, too

I am a black pierrot:

She did not love me,

So with my once gay-colored soul

Shrunken like a balloon without air,

I went forth in the morning

To seek a new brown love.
