The circus is closed, the band carried out
Peanut shells and popcorn stale without a sound
No echoes of laughter, the silence of joy
Trapped in the fabric of a faded color tent
Don't look for elephants, don't wait for the show
Don't cover your eyes dear, the circus is closed
Don't let your heart leap out from the lonely trapeze
For fear that you'll reach out, and the one thing you need
Isn't there
