Sacred Things Lyrics

A curtain finally closes
The lights fade out of this town
They're cutting up yesterday's roses
There ain't no circus without a clown
The moon is tired and tattered
The stars just disappear
Our dreams of love lie shattered
But what's a sideshow without a tear?

So don't you cry
Or let your world turn blue
Reveal your disguise
Oh, that wouldn't do
Each night on this road
I wait in the dark
I'm silent and cold
I pray that your heart
Was mine to hold

They're dancing by the river There's fireworks in the sky
All of our sins are forgiven
With that sweet, old lullaby

So don't you cry
Or let your world turn blue
Reveal your disguise
Oh no, not you

And that is why
There's magic and there's mystery
Oh, the sacred things you whispered to me
Summer never really ends
And my poor heart, it still pretends

Each night on this road
I wait in the dark
I'm silent and cold
I pray that your heart
Was mine to hold
And that is why
