Sometimes I wonder
just where you went
and how I lost you somewhere
in that circus tent
I thought I could see you
behind the men
in the pork-pie hats
In the time of naked ladies
and acrobats
You took my hand
Godiva rode into view
and the world became naked
everything was so new
and the spotlight shown down
down upon us
I was only sure of that
In the time of naked ladies
and acrobats
I thought I could hold to the promise I saw in your eyes
Godiva looks so lovely, in the way that she rides
And everything is beauty until your feet touch the ground
Then the tent rolls up and moves on to some other town
Beauty is naked
And love is a song
Sometimes we break it
Sometimes it plays on
But I still think I see you
Behind the men
in the pork-pie hats
In the time of naked ladies
and acrobats
