Circus songs
falling with maple leaves
from high in the orange dawn
sounds like one thousand seas
Treasure maps
leading me home again
gardens and stone laid paths
Strayed too far from them
and so what if we don't have the courage to see
we are far better of than the ones who tried and could never believe
and the jasmine breeze
stuck with the swaying clouds
rolling up our long sleeves
to let in the blooming ground
its a long walk, I know, but when we arrive
we will be greeted like royalty. once long lost and thought to have died
the softened earth
that falls from the rotting pines
just like our fickle worth
Only there half the time
So hope when I jump there'll be something below
For I am afraid there's a future that I can't help but to never know
All of those angels that once called our names
were blown far away, now no ones to blame
but ourselves and our magic
and the man in the moon
for stealing our small hearts
and giving us nothing but rules \
(melody)
So play me a circus song
but loud enough for everyone
You've always known all the words
you always right all my wrongs
Circus songs, play me your favorite one
Ill sing with you beside the twisting days
and be terrified there's an awful lot of places that we'll never get to
