Circus Songtext
von John Denver

If I look like home to you
And if I am your sign
Don′t try to understand it girl
When I draw the line
It hasn't come to this
That you can say I waste my time
Looking everywhere and going nowhere

Well the skies they look so lazy now
Heavy are the clouds
There′s nothing here that I can learn
Or what it's all about
You haven't said a thing to me
And you talk so very loud
Looking everywhere and going nowhere


Well I think I′ll try the circus
Or go back to Mexico
It′s time to make mistakes again
It's time to change the show
It′s time and time and time again
To find another way
It's time to gather forces
And get out of yesterday

Because I lost what I was looking for
There′s nothing left to share
I need to take myself away
To be some other where
I face the life a minute more
I don't think I can spare
Looking everywhere and going nowhere

′Cause I tell you when you hurt me
And you just don't seem to know
And I inform you that I'm lonely
And you still don′t think I′ll go
So if I lie to you and smile the thought
It's only halfway here
It′s just the circus and I'm singing
I′m never really near


If I look like home to you
And if I am your sign
Don't try to understand it girl
When I draw the line
It hasn′t come to this
That you can say I waste my time

Looking everywhere
Looking everywhere
Looking anywhere and going nowhere
