fantasy about what the lover inspires in me.

Lyrics

"Circus" Meryl Leppard c. 2000

When I look in your eyes
I go straight to the circus
there's a woman in blue
and she's ready to fly
arching her back
sequins flash from her body
trusting that man's gonna catch her
she dives in the sky.

when I gaze at your body
I'm standing on mountains
on the roof of the world's
a spectacular view
rarified air that's so pure
it is making me breathless
monks have been chanting their prayers
and I said one for you.

and when I dream at night
my dreams are lovely
that's when my soul takes flight
over the sea
you are delicious fare
why don't you take me where
I can run free?

and when I hear you laugh
I imagine a pirate
these are dangerous oceans
I'm willing to sail
waiting for you
with my swaggering crew
and they're restless
swearing allegiance
they ready the mast and the rail

and when I dream at night
my dreams are lovely
yes they are
that's when my soul takes flight
over the sea
you are delicious fare
why don't you take me where
I can run free?
