Souvenir of the Circus lyrics

Have you ever woken 

In the middle of the night?

Like a child you're cryin' 

And looking for the light

Though no one can save you

There are some you can hold on to

When the world is shaking

Now we've all seen hard times

Oh, yes, life can be so mean

Experience will wear you out

But love can make you dream

And if you feel you're losing

To the clowns who do the bruising

Just take this lucky souvenir

I remember running scared through this town

And it took months of love to calm us down

But now the sideshow is just a memory

Oh, we'll drink some wine

We smoke

We won't live in the past

People making fun of us

But we're the ones who'll last

And if I seem confused 

I'm just looking for something here

Just a souvenir of the circus

Yeah

Just a souvenir
