Circus Lyrics - Original Album Classics - John Denver

This song appears on two albums, and was first released on the Rhymes and Reasons album, and has also been released on The Country Roads Collection album. 

If I look like home to you, 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, going nowhere 

For the skies they look so lazy now, heavy are the clouds 

There's nothing here that I could learn or what it's all about 

You haven't said a thing to me and you talk so very loud 

Looking everywhere, going nowhere

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

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 

A face, a life, a minute more, I don't think I can spare 

Looking everywhere, going nowhere 

Cause I tell you when you hurt me and you just don't seem to know 

I inform you that I'm lonely and you still don't think I'll go 

So if I lie to you and smile a thought, it's only half way here 

It's just the circus, and I'm singing I'm never really near

If I look like home to you, 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, going nowhere
