Circus
I knew a girl back in our town
She always smiled and never wore a frown with us
I knew a girl back in our town
She always smiled and never wore a frown with us
And then there came the darkened day
The rain came down and washed away
What she learned with us
A coloured tent had pitched up in the countryside
And those who came to near had their beliefs tried
When will you be back in town, girl?
You ran away with the circus
When will you be back in town?
You ran away with the circus
Now the ringmaster was the nicest guy
Knew what to say and how to lie to all of us
And then again the rain came down
The words he spoke had a different sound
To all of us
A coloured tent had pitched up in the countryside
And those who came to near had their beliefs tried
When will you be back in town, girl?
You ran away with the circus
When will you be back in town?
You ran away with the circus
When will you be back town, girl?
You ran away with the circus
When will you be back in town?
You ran away with the circus
Circumventing your circle of friends
And is your defence to run and hide?
Son I've tried - it doesn't work
And your life seems dark, dreary, difficult
Detrimental, dismal
You're tired, teary and typically cynical
No one to talk to
No one to trust
No one to walk with
And nothing to wash the stains from your hands
Hand me your plans
I'll tear 'em up and help you stand
You can empty your tears
And fill up your cup to the brim
Don't sink, but swim
Don't give up and do not give in
Through thick or thin, if you lose or if you win
If you're out, I'm in
Come back and again
And again
Again
Again
Come back and again begin
When will you be back in town, girl?
You ran away with the circus
When will you be back in town?
You ran away with the circus
When will you be back town, girl?
You ran away with the circus
When will you be back in town?
You ran away
She always smiled and never wore a frown with us
I knew a girl back in our town
She always smiled and never wore a frown with us
And then there came the darkened day
The rain came down and washed away
What she learned with us
A coloured tent had pitched up in the countryside
And those who came to near had their beliefs tried
When will you be back in town, girl?
You ran away with the circus
When will you be back in town?
You ran away with the circus
Now the ringmaster was the nicest guy
Knew what to say and how to lie to all of us
And then again the rain came down
The words he spoke had a different sound
To all of us
A coloured tent had pitched up in the countryside
And those who came to near had their beliefs tried
When will you be back in town, girl?
You ran away with the circus
When will you be back in town?
You ran away with the circus
When will you be back town, girl?
You ran away with the circus
When will you be back in town?
You ran away with the circus
Circumventing your circle of friends
And is your defence to run and hide?
Son I've tried - it doesn't work
And your life seems dark, dreary, difficult
Detrimental, dismal
You're tired, teary and typically cynical
No one to talk to
No one to trust
No one to walk with
And nothing to wash the stains from your hands
Hand me your plans

You can empty your tears
And fill up your cup to the brim
Don't sink, but swim
Don't give up and do not give in
Through thick or thin, if you lose or if you win
If you're out, I'm in
Come back and again
And again
Again
Again
Come back and again begin
When will you be back in town, girl?
You ran away with the circus
When will you be back in town?
You ran away with the circus
When will you be back town, girl?
You ran away with the circus
When will you be back in town?
You ran away
