Yes - Circus Of Heaven Lyrics
The day the circus of heaven came to townLocal folks lined the streets in a midwestern townWaiting anxiously for the parade to begin all aroundOn the very last dayA unicorn headed the mystical waySurrounded by what seemed a thousand golden angels at playBehind were centaurs, elves, bright fairies all in colours of jadeOn the very final dayFor what seemed only just a moment in timeSeven solemn flying silvered regal horses rode bySeven golden chariots in tow, a wonder to beholdThe seven lords of the mountains of timeThere then arose where nothing really stood there beforeA giant tent rising one thousand feet high frofrom the floorTowns people flocked inside with their eyes all amazedTo greet the seventh lord of the seventh ageA fanfare rang out in an incredible soundBringing out the strangest visions perfect harmony roundAny dreams he asked would they like to have seenFrom historical or mythical scenesThen there above their heads just as vivid as lifeEach vision transported multitudes inventing lightGrecian galleons, the sack of troy, to the gardens of babylonA play of millions roared alongThe gigantic dreams of alexander the greatCivil wars where fbrothers fought and killed their friendship with hateAll seen by zeus performing scenes in the magical wayThe day the circus came to townOutside great animals as tame as the treesAngels high in starlight dancing streetsTurning their colours with indigo and goldDropping violet, red and emerald snowAs the circus finally changed its invisible courseA new world to be foundOn the dreamy ground we walked uponI turned to my son and saidwas that something beautiful, amazing, wonderful, extraordinaryBeautiful?oh! it was ok!! but there were no clowns, no tigers, lions or bears,Cand-floss, toffee apples, no clowns.
