Under the Circus Lights (Live)

作曲 : Adam Young

How ya feeling?

Great to be here, thanks!

Here's a song about somebody who had an enchanting encounter inside of a big top tent

I've always had a thing for the idea of running away with the circus, I don't know why

I just know that I'd end up with extraordinary stories to tell

Here's one of them

Once upon a summer

A traveling circus came to town from the land down under

And I was filled with wonder

When I saw the girl on the flying trapeze

Tear through the air with the greatest of ease

Oh, I got cotton candy and then in a daze, I met her gaze

And she winked right at me

And my heart pounded madly

When I saw the girl on the flying trapeze

Capture the crowd with the greatest of ease

Shе was a light in a dark lullaby

That girl was raised by a butterfly

I swear whеn I caught her eye, I could almost fly

And under the circus lights

I must have fallen in love that night

Lighter than a feather

But careful as with a heavy heart

She seemed to fall forever

And then I wondered whether

I noticed the girl on the flying trapeze

Blink back a tear with the greatest of ease

And she took my breath away

Oh, so grand and graceful

Confetti rained as she climbed through the air

Like a homesick angel

"She makes heartache painful"

I thought, as the girl on the flying trapeze

Melted my heart with the greatest of ease

What a display of rosé poetry

What a majestic menagerie

I swear when I caught her eye, I could almost fly

And under the circus lights

I must have fallen in love that night

And then with a charming sweetness

She smiled and waved and took a bow

For a crowd stunned speechless

And I was charmed to pieces

When the girl on the flying trapeze

Magically dissolved like a song on the breeze

And broke my heart with the greatest of ease

We shook the floor with a roar of applause

She seemed to drown in the oohs and aahs

I hung around 'til the clowns

Tore the big top down

And soon it was almost dawn

I looked and looked but the girl was gone

Deep down, I felt kinda blue for a day or two

Then clear as a bell, I knew

I would run away with the circus too

Thank you!
