Circus of heaven lyrics

Artist  : Yes 
Song : Circus of heaven
 
The day the circus of heaven came to town
Local folks lined the streets in a midwestern
town
Waiting anxiously for the parade to begin all
around
On the very last day

A unicorn headed the mystical way
Surrounded by what seemed a thousand golden
angels at play
Behind were centaurs, elves, bright fairies all
in colours of jade
On the very final day

For what seemed only just a moment in time
Seven solemn flying silvered regal horses rode
by
Seven golden chariots in tow, a wonder to behold
The seven lords of the mountains of time
There then arose where nothing really stood there
before
A giant tent rising one thousand feet high
frofrom the floor
Towns people flocked inside with their eyes all
amazed
To greet the seventh lord of the seventh age
A fanfare rang out in an incredible sound
Bringing out the strangest visions perfect
harmony round
Any dreams he asked would they like to have seen
From historical or mythical scenes

Then there above their heads just as vivid as
life
Each vision transported multitudes inventing
light
Grecian galleons, the sack of troy, to the
gardens of babylon
A play of millions roared along
The gigantic dreams of alexander the great
Civil wars where fbrothers fought and killed
their friendship with hate
All seen by zeus performing scenes in the magical
way
The day the circus came to town

Outside great animals as tame as the trees
Angels high in starlight dancing streets
Turning their colours with indigo and gold
Dropping violet, red and emerald snow
As the circus finally changed it’s invisible
course
A new world to be found

On the dreamy ground we walked upon
I turned to my son and said
’was that something beautiful, amazing,
wonderful, extraordinary
 beautiful? ’

’oh! it was ok!! but there were no clowns, no
tigers, lions or bears,
Cand-floss, toffee apples, no clowns.’
