Lyrics

A curtain finally closes Lights fade out in this town They're cutting up yesterday's roses Ain't no circus without a clown The moon is tired and tattered Stars just disappear A kiss on the mirror that shattered So what's the sad show without a tear But don't you cry Or let your world turn blue Don't look in my eyes Save those tears I've shed enough for two Don't reveal your disguise Oh, that would never do And that is why There's rapture and there's mystery The sacred things you whispered to me And that is why Summer never really ends But my poor heart still pretends Each night on this road I wait in the dark Silent and cold And pray that your heart Was mine to hold We're dancing by the river There's fireworks in the sky All of our sins are forgiven With that sweet old lullaby And that is why There's rapture and there's mystery The sacred things you whispered to me That is why Summer never really ends But my poor heart still pretends Each night on this road I wait in the dark Silent and cold And pray that your heart Was mine to hold Those sacred things (J.
