Lyrics:

Listen to what I try to tell you
You know, it's hard to say, it's hard
I'm going now to other places
Yes it's time that we will part

Oh, believe me, I can't stay longer
Oh I'm sorry for I see you feel pain
Maybe for you today it's raining
But your love won't be in vain

The horses, they're so impatient
And the clowns' wives are chattering in between
The variegated wagons, the sword swallower
Are all borne in the same magic scene

Oh believe me, I can't stay no longer
Oh I'm sorry for I see you feel pain
And maybe for you today it's raining
But your love won't be in vain

Refrain:
Circus will be in town in time (3x)
Circus is waiting for departure time
Oh, baby, you know, I've got something to explain
The many countries I have seen
For five days, a fortnight, sometimes longer
And it seems, oh it seems, oh it seems
It's all a cosy company
And I do it only, only, only, only through
Oh, it's working hard for your money

Refrain:
Circus will be in town in time (3x)
Circus is waiting for departure time
