Days of hope & days of glory
Days of hate & days of dole
Days of light & 'hunky dory'

Days a dark night of the soul.

Days of miracle & wonder

Days of doldrums & despair
Days of storms & violent thunder
Days of suns that kissed the air.


Chorus
This is a life with all its faults the circus is in town

Won't you join the madman waltz of a carnival of clowns?
This is a life with all its faults the circus is in town
Won't you join the madman waltz of a carnival of clowns?


Days of honesty & caring
Days of cowardice & lies

Days of heartbreak & soul-baring
Days of women and goodbyes.


Times of majesty & money
Times of down & out & poor
Times of life loud & funny

Times of sorrows at your door.

Chorus


(Instrumental)


Chorus

Days of peace & of wars raging

Days of kestrels and of knaves
Days of battles well worth waging
Days of cradles & of graves.






Years of tragedy & triumph
Years of mothers, brothers, sons

Years of families & silence
Years of love & years of none
Years of love & years of none

Years of love & years of none.
