[Verse 1]
Goodbye, circus wheel
May you rest along the seas
I have given you the fire of my youth
And the triumph of my enemies
And goodbye, fair weather home
And your faithless factories
I have given you the blood and the truth
From the wounds that they laid on me
[Pre-Chorus]
And whatever they left
I kept it for my own heart
[Chorus]
And the lonesome understand with the choirs in my head
We were orphans before we were ever the sons of regret
My baby, on and on and on, how the alphabet boys carry on
And we were orphans before we were ever the sons in the songs
[Verse 2]
And now my lights, they never go down
They waltz the moon and the stars for me now
So you can find some local libertine
To take your daughters out on the town
And I can feel it in my aging bones
How the sound of the rain mixes up
Into the fountains where I drank my hero's blood
Goodbye, circus wheel
May you rest along the seas
I have given you the fire of my youth
And the triumph of my enemies
And goodbye, fair weather home
And your faithless factories
I have given you the blood and the truth
From the wounds that they laid on me
[Pre-Chorus]
And whatever they left
I kept it for my own heart
[Chorus]
And the lonesome understand with the choirs in my head
We were orphans before we were ever the sons of regret
My baby, on and on and on, how the alphabet boys carry on
And we were orphans before we were ever the sons in the songs

And now my lights, they never go down
They waltz the moon and the stars for me now
So you can find some local libertine
To take your daughters out on the town
And I can feel it in my aging bones
How the sound of the rain mixes up
Into the fountains where I drank my hero's blood
