circus

Singer: john denver

if i look like home to you

if i am your sign

don't try to understand it girl when i draw the line. it hasn't come to this that you can say i waste my time

looking everywhere

going nowhere. for the skies

they look so lazy now

heavy are the clouds. there's nothing here that i can learn of what it's all about. you haven't said a thing to me

you talk so very loud

looking everywhere

going nowhere. well

i think i'll try the circus or go back to mexico. it's time to make mistakes again

it's time to change the show. it's time and time and time again to find another way

it's time to gather forces and get out of yesterday. because i lost what i was looking for

there's nothing left to share. i need to take myself away to be some other where

a face

a life

a minute more

i don't think i can spare

looking everywhere

going nowhere. 'cause i tell you when you hurt me and you just don't seem to know

i inform you when i'm lonely and you still don't think i'll go. so if i lie to you and smile a thought that's only halfway here

it's just a circus and i'm singing

i'm never really near. if i look like home to you

if i am your sign

don't try to understand it girl when i draw the line. it hasn't come to this that you can say i waste my time

looking everywhere

looking everywhere

looking anywhere

going nowhere.
