Don't Look Back

The morning lights your face up like a clown
marching off for other worlds to conquer
and the circus is rolling into town
without a trace of yesterday upon her.

Chorus:
Don't look back at the ruin left behind
Don't look back I'd hate for you to see me crying
Don't look back you might even change your mind
I couldn't stand to say good-bye a second time.

I've been the actor at the door before
I know there's nothing more that I can do
I've smiled that million-sided smile of yours
with everything included but the truth.

Chorus:

It's a joke to be careful at the end of things
and every eye in the house is dry
And the words we speak are the deadest things
alive enough to still have strength to die.

Chorus: Chorus:
