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.
