Philip Claypool - Circus Leaving Town lyrics

rate me

Before you draw the final curtain before the big top crashes down

Before you pack away my trunkcase I'd like to take a final bow

One last chance to hear the laughter and to see your face there in the crowd

One last moment in the spotlight one last chance to be your clown

I guess you're tired of walking tightropes of settin' up and tearing down

You want a place to call forever and rest your feet on solid ground

Somewhere you lost that sense of wonder but that's still the place I'm bound

Like a storm in search of thunder I'm just a circus leaving town

Once we could fill a room with laughter and fill each other's hearts with joy

Through each trial and disaster till we'd cling to our choice

To take a path so unforgiving a road that waits for no one

We know we chose to keep on living oh tell me where did we go wrong

I guess you're tired of walking tightropes of settin' up and tearing down

You want a place to call forever and rest your feet on solid ground

Don't try and break this spell I'm under or stop these wheels from spinning round

For I'm a storm in search of thunder yeah I'm a cicrcus leaving town

Someday you'll wake up and wonder and your heart will start to pound

And you'll long for the thunder and the kisses of a clown
