Travelling Circus
I first met her in Belfast city
where the trees fall gently in the rain
she was wearing a coat of amber
and a ring of flame
We took up with each other
for how long I don’t know
cos the time just slips
I saw heaven in her skin so silver
and the tips of her fingertips
How could I know she would not tarry
and I would lose my way
her light has gone
would it could brighten
would it could brighten up my day
So I’m going back to Belfast city
where the trees now stand tall and bare
for she has fallen into the arms of another
no longer can I touch the poetry in her hair
I will not rest till I have found her
I will not reason all along the way
for life is just a travelling circus
that stops off when it rains
Life is just one great big travelling circus,
that stops off when it rains
I wish I had you in Carrickfergus
only two miles from Ballygran
I would swim over
the deepest ocean
only to have you
right by my side
Life is just a great big travelling circus
that stops off when it rains
