Big Tops

As long as the ferris wheel spins 'round

Makin' the night bright as day

I know our love will shine about

And keep the darkness at bay

I know you'll see the man you love

But not the man that I am

I pray that I can win you a prize

And the summer will never end

But the circus is leaving town

They're firing all the clowns

And the hum of the trucks

As they're loading 'em up

Makes a lonesome sound

The big tops are coming down, Baby

Yeah, they're bringing the big tops down

The kids are all grown and gone

It's awful quiet at night

And we're both feeling all alone

Though we're lying side by side

We hover around this haunted house

Like a couple of ghosts

The laughing, the crying, the lovin', the fightin'

I don't know what I miss the most

But the circus is leaving town

They're firing all the clowns

And the hum of the trucks

As they're loading 'em up

Makes a lonesome sound

The big tops are coming down, Baby

Yeah, they're bringing the big tops down

I keep standing by the window listening for the sound

For the wheels of love rolling coming back around

Coming back around, Baby

But the circus is leaving town

They're firing all the clowns

And the hum of the trucks

As they're loading 'em up

Makes a lonesome sound

The big tops are coming down, Baby

Yeah, they're bringing the big tops down

They're bringing the big tops down

They're bringing the big tops down

They're bringing the big tops down
