Big Tops Lyrics - Steve Wariner

As long as the ferris wheel spins 'round 

Makin' the night bright as day 

I know our love will shine about 

And keep the darkness at bay 

I know you'll see the man you love 

But not the man that I am 

I pray that I can win you a prize 

And the summer will never end 

[Chorus:] 

But the circus is leaving town 

They're firing all the clowns 

And the hum of the trucks 

As they're loading 'em up 

Makes a lonesome sound 

The big tops are coming down, Baby 

Yeah, they're bringing the big tops down 

The kids are all grown and gone 

It's awful quiet at night 

And we're both feeling all alone 

Though we're lying side by side 

We hover around this haunted house 

Like a couple of ghosts 

The laughing, the crying, the lovin', the fightin' 

I don't know what I miss the most 

[Chorus] 

I keep standing by the window listening for the sound 

For the wheels of love rolling coming back around 

Coming back around, Baby 

[Chorus] 

They're bringing the big tops down 

They're bringing the big tops down 

They're bringing the big tops down
