Circus — John Denver

If I look like home to you Don' try to understand it girl When I draw the line It hasn't come to this That you can say I waste my time Lookin' ev'rywhere Goin' nowhere (Repeat)

For the skies, they look so lazy now Because I lost what I was lookin' for

And heavy are the clouds There's nothing left to share

There's nothing here that I can learn I need to take myself away

Of what it's all about To be some other where

You haven't said a thing to me A face, a life, a minute more

And you talk so very loud I don't think I can spare

Lookin' ev'rywhere Lookin' ev'rywhere

Goin' nowhere Goin' nowhere

Well, I think I'll try the circus 'Cause I tell you when you hurt me

Or go back to Mexico and you just don't seem to know

It's time to make mistakes again And I inform you when I'm lonely

It's time to change the show. And you still don't think I'll go

It's time and time and time again So if I lie to you, and smile a thought

To find another way That's only half-way here

It's time to gather forces It's just a circus and I'm singing And get out of yesterday And I'm never really near

Repeat First verse

Coda

Lookin' ev' - ry - where Lookin' ev' - ry - where Lookin' ev' - ry - where Goin' nowhere
