So I followed her down though she told me to go
But I couldn't let go like a clown on the circus circuit
That already played the next town
I'm not entirely well, well well, I'm OK I could say
What the hell, so she left me, what's worse now worse now
I can hardly tell

So I go back, where I found her
Past the sounds and the sideshows we'd stroll
Love took its toll

Gotta go back to the fairground
Gotta go back to the next town
Where we walked down the midway
Midway between the borders of love

So I followed her down, though she told me to leave
But I had to retrieve what was lost and surround her round her
Catch the merry-go-round
Underneath the Big Top I played to the crowd, Emmett Kelly'd be proud
Stick my hand in my pocket, pocket
The scarf never stops

And I go back, where I found her
Past the sounds and the side-shows we'd stroll
Love took its toll

Gotta go back to the fairground
Gotta go back to the next town
Where we walked down the midway
Midway between the borders of love

Gotta go back to the fairground
Gotta go back to the next town
Where we walked down the midway
Midway between the borders of love
Where we walked down the midway
Midway between the borders of love
