Lend an ear I?ll tell you a story about a man who didn?t know how to be
Joined a traveling circus from PEI to BC
I was playing dead every morning, I was taking dives every night
Then someone came and swept me off my feet in mid-flight
Now without her love I really got nothing
Without her love I?d hang up my shoes
It?d be a world of suffering if this one I was ever to lose
So I?m hanging on with all of my power
Hanging on as tight as a noose
Around the midnight hour she said ?remember that I?m easily bruised?
I had everything that I wanted. Had so much I threw it away
