I followed the flying child
Above the sawdust
For her, no school
No shoes
When the leaves are falling
The horse stops
And the dwarf, sad
Heats up the circus ring
I followed the flying child
Who arches her back
Up in the straitjacket
The satin vest
When the morning is coming
She leaves the circus ring
The dwarf, sad
Takes her away
I followed the gliding child
Above faces
Dreamed of her smooth belly
Like a shellfish
When the morning is coming
She leaves the circus ring
The dwarf, sad
Takes her away
