At The Close Of Every Day - 40 Years lyrics

The circus takes leave from Amsterdam - it's 10 p.m., they need to move on They lower the shakes as they rise their heads - when the trapeze girl comes along I see a little girl named Suzanna, hiding with the elephants She tells me she can't live without them - wishing a new day would never rise If she could see herself in 40 years Still no elephant for her to ride on To see herself in 40 years No great escape but I might be wrong As the old man walles up to the horses and the clowns fake their own, last smiles I see the parents got away with laughter - I guess their money made it worthwhile To see myself in 40 years Will I be there with my grandchildren To see myself in 40 years The same silly things, agan and again But a dream's all right - won't harm to think out loud I hope Suzanna's all right - alone in her zoo all night Is there anybody out there who can give me a peace of mind I am looking for an answer which's lately been so hard to find To see myself in 40 years Will I be there with my grandchildren To see myself in 40 years The same silly things, agan and again
