Take Me To Tomorrow

When I was a young man I ran away from home 
 I went to join the circus 
 Went to see the cotton candy world and make me lots of money 
 on my own 
 For Molly 
 Oh my pretty Molly 
 but she's waiting all alone 
 Someday soon I will return to her 


 Then I made the big time bright lights, showbiz 
 I'm really in the circus 
 There's only one thing wrong 
 I haven't saved a penny 
 on my own 
 for Molly 
 Oh my pretty Molly 
 But she's writing everyday 
 Molly understands 
 so it's okay 


 Ride a windy box car see a lthousand children young and old 
 Oh that greasepaint smile can hide your soul 
 Here comes a carousel guess which town it is 
 feel the thrill 
 Greasepaint covers everything but winter's chill 


 I'm reading Molly's letter 
 The ink is fading and the page's turning yellow 
 Long ago 
 I promised Molly 
 Don't you know I 
 I will close my eyes and go to her
