lyrics

ALMOST GONE

VERSE 1
Once the circus came to town. Fire eaters and the clowns
Pulled the stakes and fold the tent. Don’t know where the circus went
No place left to spend the day. No place left to run away
Pull the stakes and fold the tent. Don’t know where the circus went

CHORUS
Going, Going, Almost Gone
The circus train just rolled on
Going, Going, Almost Gone
Rolled into night, gone by dawn
Going, Going, Almost Gone
Going, Going, Going Gone

VERSE 2
Once a train from town to town, moving the show around
Held our breath without a sound, wire walkers above the ground
Acrobats on trapeze, flying through the air with ease
Then a clown pretends to sneeze, flips and falls just to please

CHORUS

VERSE 3
Guess it was considered cruel, elephants didn’t make the rules
Horses ridden by a sequined lady, barker seems a little shady
Greatest show is best at night — loses glamour by daylight
Could be why the circus went. Pulled the stakes, folded the tent

CHORUS

VERSE 4
Once the circus came to town. Fire eaters and the clowns
Pulled the stakes and fold the tent. Don’t know where the circus went
No place left to spend the day. No place left to run away
Pull the stakes and fold the tent. Don’t know where the circus went

CHORUS
