The circus is the place for me with bears and clowns and noise

I love the shiny music that descends from overhead

Gordon knew the moment when the stars all turned around

But from that vantage point I frowned

If life were easy and not so fast

I wouldn’t think about the past

I can’t forget to turn the earth so both sides get their share

Of darkness and of light

So now I wander over grounds of light

And heat and sounds and mist

Provoking dreams that don’t exist

A circus of light where dreams can take flight

In the peacefulness dreaming dreams bring

If life were easy and not so fast

We wouldn’t think about the past
