[Verse 1]
Pretty Elaina, my fair lady
She walked the high wire back in the 80’s
Feathers and sequins, she shined like a chandelier
Hanging from the top tent rafters 'til the spotlight disappeared
[Verse 2]
Harlan Giovanni, what a sight to see
The way he earned her trust was on a twenty-foot trapeze
She fell so hard because he always let her fly
'Til he left her heart suspended in a cotton candy sky
She still don’t know why
[Chorus 1]
Evеry show must end, every circus lеaves town
You don’t know the magic’s gone until the lights go down
Now she’s back in Nacogdoches and I hear she’s doing well
She only misses Harlan when she hears a carousel
[Verse 3]
Pretty Elaina made herself a nest
Her sequins and her secrets buried in her cedar chest
No one around here knows about her other life
Johnny Davis went and made her a mama and a wife
And maybe that’s alright
Pretty Elaina, my fair lady
She walked the high wire back in the 80’s
Feathers and sequins, she shined like a chandelier
