When I was dreaming,
Fight,
I could fight with the best,
And I never was on the fence,
Laugh,
I could laugh when i heard the guitar,
Of the circus man.
When I was dreaming,
It seemed my world went away,
As you were leaving i could see,
That i couldn't find what i used to in your eyes,
Isn't it time, yeah,
Maybe it's time, yeah.
When I was dreaming
It seemed my world went away,
As you were leaving i could see,
That I couldn't find what i used to in your eyes.
When I was dreaming,
It seemed my world went away,
As you were leaving, i could see,
That you couldn't find what you used to in my eyes.
When I was dreaming, ooh yeah...
When I was dreaming, ooh yeah...
Fight,

Of the circus man.
