Lyrics for The Circus

Sweet night time Us drinking our wine Bats sang the songs of the night And the circus passed by When everything rang in the dark There were bells in the park The hook, the umbrellas, the track We skipped through the cracks And you sang as you lit the lamps Facing out to the garden And I felt words on my tongue But the voice wasn't mine Now that the circus is gone There's trash on the lawn A quiet phone is ringing inside And life is a lie Easter bells filling the air
