The party's over now
|
So draw the curtains down
|
Your secret's safe to keep
|
Unzip your velvet gown
|
And let your hair hang loose
|
Kick off your satin shoes
|
Throw back the ida down
|
Farewell to Friday's clown
|
|
The circus is leaving town
|
Oh Ruby, roll your stockins down
|
Circus is leaving town
|
Oh Ruby, dry your eyes
|
|
Fix up something to heap
|
Still water still run deep
|
The dogs are barking now
|
Get back out on the street
|
|
The circus is leaving town
|
Oh Ruby, roll your stockins down
|
Circus is leaving town
|
So Ruby, dry your eyes
|
|
The party is over now
|
Stop howling at the moon
|
You need a different beat
|
You need a different tune
|
|
Remember that old song
|
We heard when we were young
|
Life was an empty page
|
The world would ride upon
|
|
Do you recall the meadow past
|
We sit and watch the hours pass
|
You were such a good girl then
|
Oh ruby dry your eyes
|
|
Circus is leaving town
|
Oh Ruby, roll your stockins down
|
Circus is leaving town
|
So Ruby, dry your eyes
|
|
You're searching when you walk
|
You're searching when you talk
|
You could make me believe
|
That the sun sets in the east
|
The sun sets in the east
|
The sun sets in the east
|
