Isobel Campbell - The Circus Is Leaving Town lyrics

rate me

The party is over now So draw the curtains down Your secret is safe to keep Unzip your velvet gown And let your hair hang loose Kick off your satine shoes Throw back the hided down Farewell to the friday's clown Circus is leaving town Oh Ruby roll your stockins down Circus is leaving town Oh Ruby dry your eyes Fixed up something to heap Still water still run deep The dogs are barking now The bag ar'out on the street Circus is leaving town Oh Ruby roll your stockins down Circus is leaving town So Ruby dry your eyes The party is over now Stop howling at the moon You need a different being You need a different tune Remember that old song We heard when we were young Life was an empty page The world would write upon Do you recall the mat of grass we sitted and watched the hours pass He was such a good girl Then no Ruby dry your eyes Circus is leaving town No Ruby roll your stockins down Circus is leaving town So Ruby dry your eyes You're searching when you walk You're searching when you talk You could make me believe That the sun sets in the east The sun sets in the east The sun sets in the east (Thanks to Amanda for these lyrics)
