Circus - Eric Clapton

Little man with his eyes on fire

And his smile so bright

In his hands are the toys you gave

To fill his heart with delight

And in the ring stands a circus clown

Holding up a knife

What you see and what you will hear

Will last you for the rest of your life

And it’s sad, so sad

There ain’t no easy way round

And it’s sad, so sad

All you friends gather round

Because the circus left town

Little man with his heart so pure

And his love so fine

Stick with me and I’ll ride with you

'Til the end of the line

Hold my hand and I’ll walk with you

Through the darkest night

And when I smile, I’ll be thinking of you

And every little thing will be all right

The circus left town, left town

The circus left town, left town
