When the Circus Came to Town Aurelio Voltaire

[Verse 1]
Well, the days are long and the work is hard
When your childhood is spent in the fields
And summer seemed to last million years
One day when I was just a boy
During one of those hot summer swells
The locusts were silenced by the clanging of bells

[Chorus]
And there was the thing for which I longed
A place where I belonged
Where I first held the hand of the one I love
When the circus came to town

[Verse 2]
We ate candy corn and corndogs
Cotton candy and candy canes
And we shared a caramel apple by the arcade
And when night fell and the stars rose
And light bedazzled the fair
We rode the Ferris wheel
Up into the air

[Chorus]
And there was the thing for which I longed
A place where I belonged
Where I first held the hand of the one I love
When the circus came to town
