Lyrics

 
Silver Lake after all
mountains rise, and then they fall
into the sea
where the lonesome birds they call
and I'll be,
I'll be standing tall
 
It's a circus dream
It's a circus dream
 
A mellow afternoon
Familiar fears come back too soon
and in my mind
all my love and losses strewn
like shadows,
behind the moon
 
It's a circus dream
It's a circus dream
 
Sunset faces pass me by
a traffic horn is bleating "Why?"
Nervous clouds drifting through a purple sky
And all I can do,
all I can do is try
 
It's a circus dream
It's a circus dream
