 Pack Up Your Tents
Pack up your tents,
Put the elephants away,
The lions and tigers
Are back in their cage,
The clowns have all washed
All the paint from their face,
There's no one left to laugh.
The trailers have dropped
Their loud garish facade,
The popcorn and candy
Are scattered on the ground,
The only sound
Is the roar of the trucks,
Everyone is leaving town.
I'm alone in the field
With the seagulls and pigeons,
The garbage and remnants
Of the crowd that was here,
The flags are all lowered,
The magic has gone,
It's time to move on once again.
