So draw the curtains down
Your secret is safe to keep
Unzip your velvet gown
And let your hair hang loose
Kick off your satine shoes
Throw back the hided down
Farewell to the friday's clown
Circus is leaving town
Oh Ruby roll your stockins down
Circus is leaving town
Oh Ruby dry your eyes
Fixed up something to heap
Still water still run deep
The dogs are barking now
The bag ar'out on the street
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 being
You need a different tune
Remember that old song
We heard when we were young
Life was an empty page
The world would write upon
Do you recall the mat of grass we sitted and watched the hours pass
He was such a good girl
Then no Ruby dry your eyes
Circus is leaving town
No 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
The party is over now So draw the curtains down Your secret is safe to keep Unzip your velvet gown And let your hair hang loose Kick off your satine shoes Throw back the hided down Farewell to the friday's clown Circus is leaving town Oh Ruby roll your stockins down Circus is leaving town Oh Ruby dry your eyes Fixed up something to heap Still water still run deep The dogs are barking now The bag ar'out on the street 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 being You need a different tune Remember that old song We heard when we were young Life was an empty page The world would write upon Do you recall the mat of grass we sitted and watched the hours pass He was such a good girl Then no Ruby dry your eyes Circus is leaving town No 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 Explain Request ×
