The Circus of his Promises
Back to all lyrics

There's bitterness as sound over silence pours down
Into her mouth to stopher breath behind her teeth
When like a miracle above her dry tears built to flood
Across the mountains and the deserts of her cheeks

She said 'why would you leave me on my own,
too soon as the harbinger comes'

The burdens of your lonely spouse
Oh you never could've hoped to be the only one he dreamed of
You might have known it from the start
The circus of his promises left a fool in the shadows of the dawn
Who might have loved him from the start

The want of your desire like smoke above the fire
C ould've slipped in through the keyhole of your door
L ike a theif under your skin come to steal you from within
A nd make you do the things you never would before

She said 'why would you leave me on my own,
too soon as the harbinger comes'

If all this draws to nothing
And if the truth is just a price to bargain with
When for all I know
He might have known it from the start
I walked around her house
With no excuses or reasons for being there
Except that I had loved him from
Loved him from the start
