Lyric Molly

When I was a young man I ran away from home
I went to join the circus
Went to see the cotton candy world and make me lots of money
on my own
For Molly
Oh my pretty Molly
but she s waiting all alone
Someday soon I will return to her

Then I made the big time bright lights, showbiz
I m really in the circus
There s only one thing wrong
I haven t saved a penny
on my own
for Molly
Oh my pretty Molly
But she s writing everyday
Molly understands
so it s okay

Ride a windy box car see a lthousand children young and old
Oh that greasepaint smile can hide your soul
Here comes a carousel guess which town it is
feel the thrill
Greasepaint covers everything but winter s chill

I m reading Molly s letter
The ink is fading and the page s turning yellow
Long ago
I promised Molly
Don t you know I
I will close my eyes and go to her
