Lyric The Circus
The sky collapsed around us, You didn t seem to care
I hailed you through the raindrops, You weren t even there.
I juggle with the breakfast, You fret behind the sheets
I want you to be steadfast, You want to be released.
CHORUS:
Oh my pretty darling, Where did we go astray
Oh my pretty darling, I thought you d come to stay.
We re all dollied up for the circus, Oh isn t it grand
We re laughing, jumping and kissing, We re beating the band.
I ve got no more smiles to win you, No tricks to turn your head
When love cannot continue, There s not much to be said.
CHORUS
It s all cut and thrust at the circus, And maybe makes three
You re twisting my words into serpents, I m down on my knees.
Oh my pretty darling, I thought you d come to stay
I thought you d come to stay, I thought you d come to stay.
I hailed you through the raindrops, You weren t even there.
I juggle with the breakfast, You fret behind the sheets
I want you to be steadfast, You want to be released.
CHORUS:
Oh my pretty darling, Where did we go astray
Oh my pretty darling, I thought you d come to stay.
We re all dollied up for the circus, Oh isn t it grand
We re laughing, jumping and kissing, We re beating the band.
I ve got no more smiles to win you, No tricks to turn your head
When love cannot continue, There s not much to be said.
CHORUS
It s all cut and thrust at the circus, And maybe makes three
You re twisting my words into serpents, I m down on my knees.
Oh my pretty darling, I thought you d come to stay
I thought you d come to stay, I thought you d come to stay.
