Isn't it rich?
Are we a pair?
Me here at last on the ground,
You in mid-air..
Where are the clowns?
Isn't it bliss?
Don't you approve?
One who keeps tearing around,
One who can't move...
Where are the clowns?
Send in the clowns. [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/j/judy_collins/send_in_the_clowns.html ]
Just when I'd stopped opening doors,
Finally knowing the one that I wanted was yours.
Making my entrance again with my usual flair
Sure of my lines...
No one is there.
Don't you love farce?
My fault, I fear.
I thought that you'd want what I want...
Sorry, my dear!
And where are the clowns
Send in the clowns
Don't bother, they're here.
Isn't it rich?
Isn't it queer?
Losing my timing this late in my career.
And where are the clowns?
There ought to be clowns...
Well, maybe next year.

Incompatibility, irony, bittersweet reflections, laughing at disparity between love's illusions and lonely realities with probability of repeating it all.

The guys a clown... Case of unrequited love after years of being a playboy... And now he is old and alone ... A clown

I think it's a lyric telling of the feelings of a woman who thought she had the love of someone but found out the hard way she was misled because her love was unrequited, her thinking was a state of dispair and sadness, she was dredfully let down but perhaps if she could see something to hold onto from her experience she could find joy again in her life..

Suddenly wanting what you did not know you wanted after what you wanted no longer wanted you as it had before.

It's about a woman who despairs at her own life saying it is a joke

Despite sondheim saying it's not esoteric i disagree. To me it's about the relationship with one's own higher self (you in mid-air), and recognizing that it has always been there, and reveling in the pure joy and innocence of the inner clown/fool when realizing this, but then in the end falling back into forgetfulness - sad really, perhaps that's why i always pictured sad clowns, because we've forgotten that they're actually already here and we just can't see them.
