The song goes like this: I can't help but feeling like some sorry little clown When the circus tent is empty and nobody is around So I dream of sky and ocean and a little plot of ground. The songs that spin upon the day Only wanted to play. The song itself doesn't mention tarot or banjo anywhere in the lyrics. Wonder why it's called The Tarot and the Banjo? |

What's that?? Doesn't make any sense at all for me. |
