|
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. |
