Circus Leaving Town

Before you drop the final curtain

Before the big tower crashes down

Before you pack away my trunk case

I'd like to take a final bounce

One last chance to hear the laughter

And 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

Hope setting up band tearing down

You want a place to call forever

And rest your feet on solid ground

Somewhere you've lost that sense of wonder

But that's still the place I'm bound

I'm a storm man searchin' thunder

I'm just a circus leaving town

Once we could fill the room with laughter

And fill each other's hearts with joy

Through each trial and disaster

Still we cling to our choice

To take a path of one for giving

A road that waits for no one

You know we chose to keep on living

Lord, tell me where did we go wrong

I guess you're tired of walking tightropes

Hope setting up band tearing down

You want a place to call forever

And rest your feet on solid ground

Don't try to break this spell on monder

Oh stop these wheels from spinning around

I'm a storm man searchin' thunder

Yes I'm just a circus leaving town

Some day you'll wake up a wonder

And your heart will start to pound

And you'll long for the fonder

And the kiss is of the clown
